PER CURIAM:

      In these consolidated cases, Redmond Howard appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his second amended civil complaint for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we

confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).

Because Howard’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s

disposition, Howard has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. See Williams v.

Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s judgment.   We deny as unnecessary both Howard’s motion to file

supplemental materials and Appellees’ motion to strike the proposed supplemental

materials. 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

                                           3
