OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Michael Bernard Carothers appeals the district court’s

orders denying his motions for reduction of sentence under 18

U.S.C. § 3582 (2006) and denying his motion for reconsideration.

On   appeal,   we   confine   our   review   to   the    issues   raised     in

Carothers’ brief.      See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).            Because Carothers’

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district

court’s disposition, Carothers has forfeited appellate review.

Accordingly, we affirm.       We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials   before    the   court   and   argument      would   not   aid   the

decisional process.



                                                                      AFFIRMED
