                                2
PER CURIAM:

             Yvett C. Rudolph appeals the district court’s order

dismissing her civil action for failure to state a claim.                           On

appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in Rudolph’s

informal brief.          4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also United States v.

Brooks, 524 F.3d 549, 556 & n.11 (4th Cir. 2008) (deeming claim

raised for first time in reply brief abandoned).                          Insofar as

Rudolph     challenges     the    order    transferring     her    case    from    the

United States District Court for the District of Delaware, we

lack jurisdiction to review this order.                 Brock v. Entre Computer

Ctrs., Inc., 933 F.2d 1253, 1257 (4th Cir. 1991).                           We have

reviewed the record in light of Rudolph’s remaining claims and

find   no    reversible      error.       Accordingly,     we     grant    leave    to

proceed     in   forma    pauperis       and   affirm   substantially       for    the

reasons stated by the district court.               Rudolph v. HR Specialist,

No. 1:14-cv-00477-LMB-JFA (E.D. Va. June 23, 2014).                      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
