PER CURIAM:
Kim L. Hargett, Sr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action
without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review
to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hargett’s
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Hargett 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 leave to proceed in forma pauperis
and 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
