& SCANLAN, Hagerstown, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Gill Saleh Haddad appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint for

want of jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal

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