PER CURIAM:
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
