PER CURIAM:
Timothy James Donahue seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his 28
U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Donahue’s informal brief does not
challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Donahue has forfeited appellate
review of the court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014).
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. 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.
DISMISSED
