PER CURIAM:

Annette C. Watkins appeals the district court’s order 

confirming an arbitration award in favor of Duke Medical Center 

and dismissing her § 1983 action. On appeal, we confine our 

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

Cir. R. 34(b). Because Watkins’s informal brief does not 

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, 

Watkins 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
