    1) Kevin Battle appealed a district court order that denied his motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. 2) On appeal, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals confined its review to the issues raised in Battle's informal brief. 3) Because Battle's informal brief did not challenge the basis for the district court's decision to deny his § 2255 motion, the Fourth Circuit found that Battle forfeited appellate review of the order and dismissed the appeal.
