PER CURIAM:
Flossie Duku appeals the district court’s order dismissing her complaint in which
she sought to raise claims of defamation, perjury, and improper adjudication of disability
benefits against a Social Security Administration Administrative Law Judge. On appeal,
we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
Because Duku’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s
disposition, Duku 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 order. 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
