PER CURIAM:

      Jerry Lee Ross appeals the district court’s order accepting

the     magistrate      judge’s     recommendation         to    grant    Defendants’

motions to dismiss Ross’ civil claims against Defendants.                               On

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

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

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district

court’s disposition, Ross 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

                                           2
