PER CURIAM:
Linwood Batts, Jr., appeals the district court’s order
denying for lack of jurisdiction his motion seeking an extension
of time to file a motion under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in
the appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Batts’
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Batts has forfeited appellate review of the
court’s order. 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
