PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION,

Submitted: May 19, 2011 Decided: May 23, 2011

Kevin Wilson, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Judah Baror, Linda Hitt
Thatcher, THATCHER LAW FIRM, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Kevin Wilson appeals the district court’s order
granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment on his sexual
harassment and retaliation claims, brought pursuant to Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A.
§§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 2003 & Supp. 2010). On appeal, we
confine our review to the issues raised in Wilson’s informal
brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Wilson’s informal brief
does not challenge the basis for the district court’s
disposition, Wilson has forfeited appellate review of the
district court’s order. See Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178
F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999) (finding failure to raise
issue in opening brief constituted abandonment of that issue).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. See
Wilson v. Prince George’s Cnty. Bd. of Educ., No. 8:08-cv-02359-
PJM (D. Md. Nov. 30, 2010). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
