PER CURIAM:

      Khalilah    Johnson      appeals        the    district       court’s    order

granting summary judgment to her employer on her retaliation

claim.     On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in

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

Johnson’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the

district    court’s   disposition,      Johnson       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, although we

grant Johnson leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
