PER CURIAM:

John D. Brantley appeals the district court’s orders

dismissing his cases as barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.* 

On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the 

Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Brantley’s 

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district 

court’s disposition, Brantley has forfeited appellate review of 

the court’s order. Accordingly, we deny Brantley’s “motion to 

pass and award judgment” and 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

 * D.C. Cir. v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 482 (1983); Rooker v. 

Fid. Tr. Co., 263 U.S. 413, 416 (1923).
