Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Senior District Judge. (1:09-cv-01340-CMH-IDD)

Submitted: April 28, 2011 Decided: May 2, 2011

Before DAVIS, KEENAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tonita Hall, Appellant Pro Se. Deirdre Gaudet Brou, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia; Paul Kugelman, Jr., OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia; Elizabeth Shattuck Finberg, Vienna, Virginia; Amy Sanborn Owen, COCHRAN & OWEN, LLC, Vienna, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Tonita Hall appeals the district court’s order

granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss and dismissing Hall’s

civil action. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues

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

Because Hall’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for

the district court’s disposition, Hall has forfeited appellate

review of the court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s judgment. Further, we deny as moot the pending

motion for an extension of time to file Hall’s informal brief,

and deny the pending motions for a restraining order and for

waiver of copying and mail fees. 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
