PER CURIAM:

Daniel C. Hill appeals the district court’s order dismissing with prejudice his

petition for review of a Merit Systems Protection Board decision.

*

 On appeal, we confine 

our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because 

Hill’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition—that 

Hill failed to prosecute his claims—Hill 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, although we grant Hill’s motion to supplement his informal 

brief, 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

 * To the extent Hill was also attempting to petition for review of an August 2, 2017, 

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission decision, it does not alter the disposition of 

this appeal.
