    Raymond Darnell Johnson appealed the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against the Director of the Virginia Department of Corrections for failure to state a claim. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's judgment, as Johnson did not challenge in his informal brief the basis for the district court's dismissal, thereby forfeiting appellate review. The Fourth Circuit denied Johnson's motion to amend his complaint and dispensed with oral argument.
