PER CURIAM:

Khalilah Johnson appeals the district court’s order 

granting summary judgment to her employer on her retaliation 

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

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

Johnson’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the 

district court’s disposition, Johnson 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, although we 

grant Johnson leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
