PER CURIAM:
Josephat Mua appeals the district court’s order dismissing
his civil complaint against several Defendants. On appeal, we
confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s
brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Mua’s informal briefs do
not challenge the bases for the district court’s disposition,
Mua has forfeited appellate review of the district court’s
order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4
(4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
order of dismissal. Mua v. Attorney Gen., Md., No. 8:14-cv-
02070-PJM (D. Md. Mar. 31, 2016). 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
