PER CURIAM:

       Ronnie Clarke appeals the district court’s order dismissing, after a review pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (2012), Clarke’s complaint alleging Defendants

retaliated against him in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.

§§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in

the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Clarke’s informal brief does not

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Clarke 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 order. 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
