PER CURIAM:
Raymond Darnell Johnson appeals the district court’s
order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint for
failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to
the issues raised in Johnson’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
Because Johnson does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition in his informal brief, he has forfeited
appellate review of the court’s order. Accordingly, we deny
Johnson’s motion for leave to amend his complaint and 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
