PER CURIAM:

Calvin Lyndale Gaddy appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. On appeal, we 

confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s 

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

does not challenge the basis for the district court’s 

disposition, Gaddy has forfeited appellate review of the court’s 

order. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 

We deny Gaddy’s motion to appoint counsel. 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
