PER CURIAM:

William Sykes appeals the district court’s order denying 

his motion for postjudgment discovery. On appeal, we confine 

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

4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Sykes’ informal brief does not 

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Sykes 

has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. 

Accordingly, we deny Sykes’ motion for appointment of counsel, 

deny Sykes’ motion for an evidentiary hearing, and affirm the 

district court’s order. 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
