PER CURIAM:

              Cora       M.   Hill    appeals      the         district    court’s       orders

dismissing her civil action for failure to establish a proper

basis   for    jurisdiction          over    any     of    the    named     Defendants      and

denying reconsideration of those orders.                          On appeal, we confine

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

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

challenge the bases for the district court’s dispositions, Hill

has     forfeited         appellate         review        of     the      court’s        orders.

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed on appeal in

forma pauperis, we affirm the district court’s judgments.                                    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

                                              2
