PER CURIAM:
Billy Junior Artis appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2012) action without prejudice for failure to exhaust his administrative remedies.
On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th
Cir. R. 34(b). Because Artis’ informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Artis 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.
AFFIRMED
