discovery.

On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in Perry’s
brief.

See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).

Because Perry’s informal brief

does not challenge with specific argument the district court’s
rulings, Perry 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 grant Perry’s applications

the decisional process.
