PER CURIAM:

Jerry Lee Ross appeals the district court’s order accepting 

the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant Defendants’ 

motions to dismiss Ross’ civil claims against Defendants. On 

appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the 

Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Ross’

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district 

court’s disposition, Ross 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 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
