Eric Emanuel Taylor, Appellant Pro Se.

PER CURIAM:

            Eric Emanuel Taylor appeals the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice for failure to state a claim his

civil    complaint        against    the    United        States.         On    appeal,   we

confine    our    review     to     the    issues    raised      in      the    Appellant’s

brief.      See     4th    Cir.     R.    34(b).         Because      Taylor      does    not

challenge    in    his     informal       brief    the     basis    for     the   district

court’s disposition, he 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
