USCA4 Appeal: 22-7329       Doc: 9         Filed: 02/24/2023      Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Azim Rahim appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

        complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues

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