PER CURIAM:

Yvett C. Rudolph appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing her civil action for failure to state a claim. On 

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

informal brief. 4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also United States v. 

Brooks, 524 F.3d 549, 556 & n.11 (4th Cir. 2008) (deeming claim 

raised for first time in reply brief abandoned). Insofar as 

Rudolph challenges the order transferring her case from the 

United States District Court for the District of Delaware, we 

lack jurisdiction to review this order. Brock v. Entre Computer 

Ctrs., Inc., 933 F.2d 1253, 1257 (4th Cir. 1991). We have 

reviewed the record in light of Rudolph’s remaining claims and 

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis and affirm substantially for the 

reasons stated by the district court. Rudolph v. HR Specialist, 

No. 1:14-cv-00477-LMB-JFA (E.D. Va. June 23, 2014). 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
