PER CURIAM:

Michael J. Greene appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 

dismissing Greene’s complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 

(2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised 

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

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

district court’s disposition, Greene 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 affirm 

the district court’s judgment. We deny Greene’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
