PER CURIAM:

            Carol L. Gray Pizzuto seeks to appeal the district

court’s order dismissing without prejudice her civil action.                         On

appeal,    we    confine    our    review    to    the    issues     raised    in   the

Appellant’s brief.         See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).           Because Pizzuto does

not challenge in her informal brief the basis for the district

court’s disposition, she has forfeited appellate review of the

court’s    order.        Accordingly,       we    grant     Pizzuto’s      motion   to

proceed    in    forma     pauperis    and     affirm     the   district      court’s

judgment.       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

                                         2
