PER CURIAM: 

Adam L. Perry appeals the district court’s order granting 

Defendant’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) motion and 

dismissing his civil action for lack of subject matter 

jurisdiction or, alternatively, failure to state a claim on 

which relief could be granted, denying his motion to strike, and 

denying as moot his motion to lift a stay of discovery. 

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

brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Perry’s informal brief

does not challenge with specific argument the district court’s 

rulings, Perry has forfeited appellate review of the court’s 

order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 

(4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we grant Perry’s applications 

seeking leave to appeal in forma pauperis 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
