PER CURIAM:

       Melanie    and    Emanuel     Smith     appeal       the     district    court’s

orders dismissing their civil case.                  On appeal, we confine our

review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief.                           See 4th

Cir. R. 34(b).          Because the Smiths’ informal brief does not

challenge the bases for the district court’s disposition, they

have    forfeited       appellate        review      of    the      court’s     orders.

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

                                           3
