Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Ronald E. Hawkins, Sr., appeals the district court’s orders

granting      Defendants’        motions    to    dismiss       Hawkins’      42    U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) complaint, and denying Hawkins’ motion for leave

to amend his complaint.            On appeal, we confine our review to the

issues raised in the Appellant’s informal brief.                         See 4th Cir.

R. 34(b).       Because Hawkins’ informal brief does not challenge

the   bases    for   the    district       court’s       disposition,      Hawkins      has

forfeited appellate review of the district court’s orders.                             See

Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir.

2004).     We thus affirm the district court’s orders.                       See Hawkins

v. City of Richmond, No. 3:16-cv-00216-REP (E.D. Va. Sept. 16,

2016).     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
