PER CURIAM:
Sam Sadeghi appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to
Inova Health Systems on his employment discrimination and retaliation claims. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir.
R. 34(b). Because Sadeghi’s informal brief does not challenge the district court’s holding
that he failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination and retaliation, Sadeghi has
forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. See Brown v. Nucor Corp., 785 F.3d 895,
918 (4th Cir. 2015); 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
