PER CURIAM:

Rasheed Olds appeals the magistrate judge’s order 

denying relief on his action filed under the Federal Tort Claims 

Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b)(1) (2012). On appeal, we confine our 

review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th 

Cir. R. 34(b). Because Olds’ informal brief does not 

sufficiently challenge the order’s ruling as to proximate 

causation, an independent basis for the magistrate judge’s 

disposition, Olds has forfeited appellate review of the 

magistrate judge’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the magistrate 

judge’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
