UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-7284

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

KEVIN BATTLE,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Ellen L. Hollander, District Judge. (1:11-cr-00110-ELH-1; 1:13-cv-03564-ELH)

Submitted: December 18, 2014 Decided: December 23, 2014

Before SHEDD, WYNN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Kevin Battle, Appellant Pro Se. Christopher M. Mason, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Michael Clayton Hanlon, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Kevin Battle appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his

(2012) motion. On

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

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

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district

court’s disposition, Battle has forfeited appellate review of

the court’s order. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal. 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.

DISMISSED
