Before NIEMEYER, GREGORY, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Carol L. Pizzuto, Appellant Pro Se. John Raymond Merinar, Jr., STEPTOE & JOHNSON, LLP, Clarksburg, West Virginia; Walter P. DeForest, III, DE FOREST KOSCELNIK YOKITIS KAPLAN & BERARDINELLI, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Carol L. Gray Pizzuto seeks to appeal the district

court’s order dismissing without prejudice her civil action. On

appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the

Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Pizzuto does

not challenge in her informal brief the basis for the district

court’s disposition, she has forfeited appellate review of the

court’s order. Accordingly, we grant Pizzuto’s motion 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED
