PER CURIAM:

Waddell Bynum, Jr., appeals from the district court’s order and judgment dismissing 

his complaint because it was barred by the statute of limitations and Bynum did not raise 

any claims against the defendants. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised 

in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Bynum’s informal brief does not 

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Bynum has forfeited appellate review 

of the court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (stating 

that “[t]he 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
