        PER CURIAM:

               Cherina Tidwell appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil complaint for

        failure to state a claim and failure to comply with a court order. On appeal, we confine our

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

        informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, she 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
