PER CURIAM:
Ronald Satish Emrit appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action
for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Emrit’s informal brief does not
challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Emrit 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
* Even assuming, without deciding, that the issues Emrit articulates in his notice of
appeal are properly before us, we find no reversible error in the district court’s dispositive
ruling on those bases.
