Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Gregory L. Walker, Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer P. May-Parker,
Assistant United States Attorney, Michael Gordon James, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Gregory L. Walker appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2012)
motion. Walker raised four claims in the district court but his
sole issue on appeal is whether the district court should have
retroactively applied the Supreme Court’s reasoning in
Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder, 130 S. Ct. 2577 (2010), to analyze
the validity of his predicate offenses relied upon for his
career offender enhancement. We have recently determined that
Carachuri claims may not be raised retroactively in collateral
proceedings. See United States v. Powell, 691 F.3d 554 (4th
Cir. 2012). Accordingly, we affirm. Because we confine our
review on appeal to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief,
see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), and Walker’s informal brief does not
challenge the remainder of the district court’s disposition,
Walker has forfeited appellate review of the other issues
decided in the district court’s order. 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
