PER CURIAM:
Khalilah Johnson appeals the district court’s order
granting summary judgment to her employer on her retaliation
claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in
the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because
Johnson’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the
district court’s disposition, Johnson 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, although we
grant Johnson leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
