PER CURIAM:
Howard Snow appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to
dismiss his complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). On appeal, we confine our
review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because
Snow’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Snow
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 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
