UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. JEROME SMITH, Defendant - Appellant.

Jerome Smith, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Eugene Anthony, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


UNPUBLISHED Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:10-cr-00217-REP-1) Before WILKINSON, KING, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jerome Smith, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Eugene Anthony, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Jerome Smith appeals the district court's order granting his motion for a reduction in his sentence based on a retroactive amendment to the Sentencing Guidelines and imposing a proportionate reduction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Smith's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Smith has forfeited appellate review of the court's order. Accordingly, we 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
