PER CURIAM:
Yvett C. Rudolph appeals the district court’s order
dismissing her civil action for failure to state a claim. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in Rudolph’s
informal brief. 4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also United States v.
Brooks, 524 F.3d 549, 556 & n.11 (4th Cir. 2008) (deeming claim
raised for first time in reply brief abandoned). Insofar as
Rudolph challenges the order transferring her case from the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware, we
lack jurisdiction to review this order. Brock v. Entre Computer
Ctrs., Inc., 933 F.2d 1253, 1257 (4th Cir. 1991). We have
reviewed the record in light of Rudolph’s remaining claims and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis and affirm substantially for the
reasons stated by the district court. Rudolph v. HR Specialist,
No. 1:14-cv-00477-LMB-JFA (E.D. Va. June 23, 2014). 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
