Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Rock Hill. Cameron McGowan Currie, District

Michael Bernard Carothers, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Zalkin Hitt,
Assistant United States Attorney, James Chris Leventis, Jr.,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Michael Bernard Carothers appeals the district court’s
orders denying his motions for reduction of sentence under 18
U.S.C. § 3582 (2006) and denying his motion for reconsideration.
On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in
Carothers’ brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Carothers’
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Carothers has forfeited appellate review.
Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
