PER CURIAM:
Jovon Davis appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for summary
judgment and dismissing his complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012), the
Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir.
R. 34(b). Because Davis’ informal brief does not sufficiently challenge the bases for the
district court’s disposition, Davis 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 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
*
We have considered and reject Davis’ contention that the district court abused its
discretion in denying the appointment of counsel. See Miller v. Simmons, 814 F.2d 962,
966 (4th Cir. 1987) (stating standard of review).
