PER CURIAM:
Byron Jermaine Welton appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for a sentence reduction, which Welton filed
pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 35(b). On appeal, we confine our
review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th
Cir. R. 34(b). Because Welton’s informal brief does not challenge
the basis for the district court’s disposition, Welton 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
