Docket

*1 Before AGEE and RUSHING, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Temekka W. Peterson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Temekka W. Peterson appeals the district court’s order denying her emergency motion and dismissing her complaint seeking to overturn her eviction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Peterson’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, she has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. [*] See Jackson v. Lightsey , 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal brief is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues preserved in that brief.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We deny Peterson’s request for counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

[*] Even if we were inclined to overlook the forfeiture, we observe, as the district court did, that Peterson’s complaint failed to identify any apparent basis for exercising federal jurisdiction. See, e.g. , Thana v. Bd. of License Comm’rs for Charles Cnty., Md. , 827 F.3d 314, 318-19 (4th Cir. 2016) (discussing limited jurisdiction of federal courts). 2
