PER CURIAM:

       Mark    Wayne     Ballard      appeals   the    district       court’s    order

denying the postjudgment motion for miscellaneous relief that

Ballard filed in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action.                     On appeal,

we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s

brief.    See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).           Because Ballard’s informal brief

does     not    challenge       the     basis   for     the    district         court’s

disposition,      Ballard       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 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
