PER CURIAM:

Bernard Hollomond seeks to appeal the district court’s order 

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint without prejudice 

for failure to comply with the court’s prior order directing 

Hollomond to pay an initial partial filing fee or aver that he 

cannot pay the fee under penalty of perjury. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(b). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in 

the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hollomond’s 

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district 

court’s disposition, Hollomond has forfeited appellate review of 

the court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 

430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. 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.

DISMISSED
