PER CURIAM:
Addie D. Campbell appeals the district court’s order
adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and
granting summary judgment for Defendant in this employment
discrimination action. On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
Because Campbell’s informal brief does not challenge the basis
for the district court’s disposition, Campbell has forfeited
appellate review of the court’s order. Moreover, to the extent
Campbell seeks to raise new claims on appeal, those claims are
foreclosed by her failure to raise them in the district court.
Finally, to the extent Campbell seeks to raise an ineffective
assistance of counsel claim, the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of
effective assistance does not apply to civil actions.
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 the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
