PER CURIAM:
Lance C. Tew appeals the district court’s order denying his
motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(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.,
370 F.3d 423, 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
