PER CURIAM:
Devontay D. Myles appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2018) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2018). On appeal, we confine
our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Myles’
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 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
