PER CURIAM:

Gloria Dean Williams appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing her civil action for lack of subject matter 

jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues 

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

Williams’ informal brief does not challenge the basis for the 

district court’s disposition, Williams 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 dismiss the 

appeal. 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.

DISMISSED
