No. 16-6417

Decided: July 22, 2016

Before SHEDD, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Mark Wayne Ballard, Appellant Pro Se.

Mark Wayne Ballard appeals the district court's order denying the postjudgment motion for miscellaneous relief that Ballard filed in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Ballard's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Ballard has forfeited appellate review of the court's order. See 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.
