        PER CURIAM:

               Ronald Satish Emrit appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action for

        failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the

        informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Emrit’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

                                                       2
