    Rodney Poston appealed a district court's order granting summary judgment to Rock Tenn Smurfit-Stone in an employment discrimination case. The appeals court affirmed the district court's judgment. In its decision, the appeals court noted that Poston's informal brief did not challenge the basis for the district court's ruling, so Poston forfeited appellate review. The appeals court also decided oral argument was not necessary because the facts and legal issues were adequately addressed in the case materials.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 15-1601

    RODNEY F. POSTON,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    v.
    ROCK TENN SMURFIT-STONE,
    Defendant - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of North Carolina, at Asheville. Max O. Cogburn, Jr.,
    District Judge. (1:13-cv-00206-MOC-DLH)

    Submitted:

    July 21, 2015

    Decided:

    July 23, 2015

    Before WILKINSON and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior


    Circuit Judge.

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Rodney F. Poston, Appellant Pro Se. Elizabeth R. Dangel, Kelly


    Suzanne Hughes, OGLETREE DEAKINS NASH SMOAK & STEWART, PC,
    Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Rodney F. Poston appeals the district courts order granting
    summary judgment to Rock Tenn Smurfit-Stone in Postons employment
    discrimination action.

    On appeal, we confine our review to the

    issues raised in the Appellants brief.

    See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).

    Because Postons informal brief does not challenge the basis for
    the district courts disposition, Poston has forfeited appellate
    review of the courts order.

    Accordingly, we affirm the district

    courts 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
