PER CURIAM:

       Peter O. Agbro and Deidra R. Agbro appeal the district court’s order dismissing

their civil action for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues

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

does not challenge several dispositive bases for the district court’s disposition, they have

forfeited appellate review of those findings. 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, although we grant

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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

       *
         We have reviewed the issues raised in the Agbros’ informal brief and discern no
reversible error based on those claims.
