PER CURIAM:
Collette Davidson appeals the district court’s order
dismissing her salvage action for failure to state a claim. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Davidson’s
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Davidson has forfeited appellate review of
the court’s order. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and 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
