Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Blake McGrath, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Blake    McGrath      appeals     the    district    court’s     order

dismissing as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) suit against

state prison officials for the loss of some of his books.                        On

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

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

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district

court’s disposition, McGrath has forfeited appellate review of

the court’s order.       Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment.       We   deny        McGrath’s    motions     for    transcript     at

government expense and to amend/correct complaint.                     We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately     presented    in     the   materials      before   the    court   and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                          AFFIRMED

                                         2
