PER CURIAM:

      The    Appellants,          the    estate      of   Doris   Holt,     Rodney   Keith

Lail, and Irene Santacroce, appeal the district court’s order

denying their most recent motion for vacatur of the court’s 2007

order confirming the settlement of their claims and dismissing

the case with prejudice, and denying recusal of the district

court judge.            As the notice of appeal explicitly specified this

order, that is the only order before this court.                             See Fed. R.

App. P. 3(c)(1)(B); see also Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170,

176   (4th       Cir.    2014).         In   their   opening      brief,    however,     the

Appellants fail to challenge the district court’s order, and

have therefore forfeited appellate review of that order.                                 See

Wahi v. Charleston Area Med. Ctr., 562 F.3d 599, 605 n.13 (4th

Cir. 2009) (citing Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(9)(A)).                            Accordingly,

we affirm the district court’s order and deny the Appellants’

motions      for    judicial      notice,      for    recusal,      to   amend,    and   to

appoint      a    special    master.           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 in

the decisional process.

                                                                                  AFFIRMED

                                               3
