Michael Robert Gallagher, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

               Michael Robert Gallagher appeals the district court’s

order dismissing his civil action for lack of subject matter

jurisdiction.         On appeal, we confine our review to the issues

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

Because Gallagher’s informal brief does not challenge the basis

for the district court’s disposition, Gallagher has forfeited

appellate review of the court’s order.                 Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s judgment.                 We deny Gallagher’s motion to

expedite decision and 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
