PER CURIAM:

Nathan E. Jacobs appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint filed 

pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 

388 (1971). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s briefs. 

See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Jacobs’ informal briefs do not challenge the basis for the 

district court’s disposition, Jacobs 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
