Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-7385

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

LINWOOD BATTS, JR.,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Louise W. Flanagan, District Judge. (5:07-cr-00064-FL-1)

Submitted: December 13, 2012 Decided: December 18, 2012

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Linwood Batts, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer P. May-Parker, Ethan A. Ontjes, Assistant United States Attorneys, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Linwood Batts, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

denying for lack of jurisdiction his motion seeking an extension

of time to file a motion under

28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West Supp.

2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in

the appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Batts’

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district

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

court’s order. 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
