PER CURIAM:
Gerald Innocent appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his civil action as barred by res judicata. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Innocent’s
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Innocent has forfeited appellate review of
the 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 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
