        PER CURIAM:

               Rashad Muhammad appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action with

        prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues

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