PER CURIAM:

            Launeil    Sanders   and       Janneth      Sanders     appeal    the

district    court’s   order   accepting      the     recommendation     of    the

magistrate judge and granting the motions to dismiss filed by

Defendants, David Alford, Henry McMaster, and the State of South

Carolina.      In their informal appellate brief, the Sanders failed

to challenge the district court’s reasons supporting the denial

of relief.       Accordingly, the Sanders have forfeited appellate

review of those issues.       See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (“The Court will

limit its review to the issues raised in the informal brief.”).

Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

affirm   the    district   court’s   order.        We    dispense    with    oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                       AFFIRMED
