        PER CURIAM:

               Emmanuel Lee McGriff El appeals the district court’s order dismissing as frivolous

        his request to remove his state criminal proceedings to federal court. On appeal, we confine

        our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because McGriff

        El’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

                                                      3
