Before WILKINSON and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tracey Terrell Grady, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Tracey Terrell Grady appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants

summary judgment in Grady’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. On appeal, we confine our review

to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Grady’s informal

brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, he 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
