PER CURIAM:
Wendell Antonio Johnson seeks to appeal the district
court’s order dismissing his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion as a
second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion filed
without authorization. On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
Because Johnson’s informal brief does not challenge the basis
for the district court’s disposition, Johnson has forfeited
appellate review of the court’s order. 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
