PER CURIAM:

Byron Jermaine Welton appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion for a sentence reduction, which Welton filed 

pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 35(b). On appeal, we confine our 

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

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

the basis for the district court’s disposition, Welton 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
