PER CURIAM:
Kevin Battle appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on 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 Battle’s
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Battle has forfeited appellate review of
the court’s order. 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
