PER CURIAM:

Hieda A. Keeler appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing her 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 Keeler’s informal brief 

does not challenge the basis for the district court’s 

disposition, Keeler has forfeited appellate review of the 

court’s order. Accordingly, 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
