PER CURIAM:

Kimberly T. Spence appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing her petition to remove her state child-custody case 

to federal court as improperly filed, construing her petition as 

a complaint, and dismissing the complaint under the RookerFeldman* doctrine. On appeal, we confine our review to the 

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

Because Spence’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for 

the district court’s disposition, Spence has forfeited appellate 

review of the court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the 

district court’s judgment and deny Spence’s motion for a 

transcript at government expense. 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
