PER CURIAM:

Vanessa Spence appeals the district court’s order granting 

summary judgment in favor of Wal-Mart Stores East, LP and 

closing her civil action.* On appeal, we confine our review to 

the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 

34(b). Because Spence’s informal brief does not challenge the 

basis for the district court’s disposition, Spence has forfeited

appellate review of the court’s order. Accordingly, although we 

grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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

 * This case was decided by a magistrate judge with the 

parties’ consent pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2012).
