UNPUBLISHED

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Josephat Mua appeals the district court's order dismissing his civil complaint against several Defendants. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Mua's informal briefs do not challenge the bases for the district court's disposition, Mua has forfeited appellate review of the district court's order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, although we grant Mua's motions to exceed the length limitations for his informal brief, for leave to amend/correct his informal brief, and to supplement his amended brief, we affirm the district court's order of dismissal. Mua v. The O'Neal Law Firm, LLP, No. 8:14-cv-02334-PJM (D. Md. Mar. 31, 2016). 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.
