PER CURIAM:
Todd Glenn Dean appeals the district court’s orders accepting the recommendation
of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice his complaint filed pursuant to
Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388
(1971), for failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and denying reconsideration. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.
34(b). Because Dean’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s
disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the court’s orders. 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
