Parties-in-Interest,

v.

LANCE C. TEW,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Greenville. Henry M. Herlong, Jr., Senior District Judge. (6:14-cr-00133-HMH-2)

Submitted: January 17, 2017 Decided: January 19, 2017

Before NIEMEYER, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lance C. Tew, Appellant Pro Se. William Jacob Watkins, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Lance C. Tew appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to

(c)(2) (2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the

issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).

Because Tew’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for

the district court’s disposition, Tew has forfeited appellate

review of the court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc.,

, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we grant

Tew’s motion to proceed under the Criminal Justice Act 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 this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
