                                2
PER CURIAM:

     William        Wayne   Coonts   appeals    the   district    court’s     order

granting      the    Defendants’     motions    to    dismiss     Coonts’     civil

action.     On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised

in the Appellant’s brief.              See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).               Because

Coonts’ informal brief does not challenge the district court’s

dispositive analysis, Coonts has waived appellate review of the

court’s order.         See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 

,

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
