PER CURIAM:

Jerome Smith appeals the district court’s order granting his 

motion for a reduction in his sentence based on a retroactive 

amendment to the Sentencing Guidelines and imposing a 

proportionate reduction. On appeal, we confine our review to the 

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

Because Smith’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for 

the district court’s disposition, Smith 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
