PER CURIAM:
Weldon Eugene Holtzclaw, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing Holtzclaw’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint for failure to comply with court orders. On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Holtzclaw’s informal
brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, he has forfeited
appellate review of the court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir.
2014) (“The informal brief is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our
review is limited to issues preserved in that brief.”).
Accordingly, we deny Holtzclaw’s pending appellate motions, and 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
