                       UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                           FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

                                      No. 21-6160

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                    Plaintiff - Appellee,

             v.

GERALD THOMAS JOHNSON, a/k/a Geezy, a/k/a Gzy Tha Prince,

                    Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore.
James K. Bredar, Chief District Judge. (1:16-cr-00363-JKB-1)

Submitted: June 29, 2021                                          Decided: July 2, 2021

Before HARRIS, RICHARDSON, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Gerald Thomas Johnson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Gerald Thomas Johnson, a federal detainee, appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion to reopen his detention hearing. On appeal, we confine our review to

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

brief does not challenge the bases 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 order. 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
