PER CURIAM:
Jerry Lee Ross appeals the district court’s order accepting
the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant Defendants’
motions to dismiss Ross’ civil claims against Defendants. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Ross’
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Ross 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
