Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Robert Brayboy appeals from the district court’s

judgment in Defendant’s favor on his racial harassment and

discrimination and retaliation claims, brought pursuant to Title

VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A.

§§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 2003 & Supp. 2010), and his

disability harassment claim, brought pursuant to the Americans

with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 12101 to 12213

(West 2005 & Supp. 2010). In his informal brief, Brayboy fails

to address the district court’s dispositive reasons for

disposing of his claims and, thus, has forfeited appellate

review of those rulings. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (limiting review

to issues raised in the informal brief); see also Edwards v.

City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999)

(failure to raise issue in opening brief constitutes abandonment

of that issue). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. See Brayboy v. Robeson County Bd. of Educ., No. 7:07-

cv-00204-H (E.D.N.C. Jan. 20, 2010). 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
