PER CURIAM:
Steven Rollakanti appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for an
extension of time in which to file an amended complaint after the court had dismissed the
complaint in part without prejudice. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues
raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Rollakanti’s informal
brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Rollakanti 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 deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis
and 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.

DISMISSED
