Khalah Sabbakhan v. Lynn Brice

USCA4 Appeal: 25-1225 Doc: 7 Filed: 06/17/2025 Pg: 1 of 2 UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 25-1225 KHALAH SABBAKHAN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. LYNN BRICE; JENNIFER NESBITT, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. John A. Gibney, Jr., Senior District Judge. (3:24-cv-00910-JAG) Submitted: June 12, 2025 Decided: June 17, 2025 Before HARRIS and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Khalah Sabbakhan, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 25-1225 Doc: 7 Filed: 06/17/2025 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Khalah Sabbakhan appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil action challenging the decisions of a lower state court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to the Rooker-Feldman ∗ doctrine and dismissing her claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act for failure to state a plausible claim for relief. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Sabbakhan’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 order. Sabbakhan v. Brice, 3:24-cv-00910-JAG (E.D. Va. Feb. 12, 2025). 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 ∗ D.C. Ct. of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462 (1983); Rooker v. Fid. Tr. Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923). 2
