PER CURIAM:

Michael A. Spivey appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing his complaint alleging disability discrimination and 

retaliation. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised 

in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Spivey’s 

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district 

court’s disposition, Spivey has forfeited appellate review of the 

court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s 

judgment. 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
