PER CURIAM:

Blake G. Bussell appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2012), as 

barred by res judicata. On appeal, we confine our review to the 

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

Because Bussell’s informal brief does not challenge the basis 

for the district court’s disposition, Bussell has forfeited

appellate review of the court’s order. Accordingly, we grant 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the district 

court’s order. 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
