Defendants.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Richard D. Bennett, District Judge. (1:14-cv-04003-RDB)

Submitted: February 17, 2017 Decided: February 23, 2017

Before NIEMEYER, WYNN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Khalilah Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Jill Schultz Distler, Emmett F. McGee, Jr., JACKSON LEWIS PC, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Khalilah Johnson appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to her employer on her retaliation

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

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

Johnson’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the

district court’s disposition, Johnson has forfeited appellate

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

370 F.3d 423

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

grant Johnson leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
