Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

■ Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

*289 PER CURIAM:

William Douglas Hampton, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing his declaratory judgment action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2012) for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hampton’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Hampton has for-' feited appellate review of the court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we deny Hampton’s motion for declaratory judgment and affirm the judgment of the district court. 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
