PER CURIAM:

Kenneth V. Awe appeals the district court’s order 

granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants in Awe’s 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. On appeal, we confine our review 

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

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

basis for the district court’s disposition, Awe 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
