LEON GHOLSON, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. C. DAVIS, Records; J. LAFLAND, Inmate Records, Defendants - Appellees.
Leon Gholson appeals the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Gholson's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Gholson 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 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.
