PER CURIAM:

Rodney L. Goodman appeals the district court’s order 

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

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

to either pay the filing fee or execute a consent form to 

authorize installment payments. On appeal, we confine our 

review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th 

Cir. R. 34(b). Because Goodman’s informal brief does not 

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, 

Goodman has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. 

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
