PER CURIAM:
Weldon Eugene Holtzclaw, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil
complaint for failure to prosecute. 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
