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
