PER CURIAM:

Renee Ferebee appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing, on res judicata grounds, Ferebee’s employment 

discrimination action.* On appeal, we confine our review to the 

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

Ferebee does not challenge the basis for the district court’s 

disposition in either her informal brief or the supplement 

thereto. Thus, Ferebee 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, although we grant Ferebee 

leave to proceed on appeal 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

 * Ferebee initially filed her lawsuit in state court, but 

Defendant removed the action to federal court.
