Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Evelyn M. Conway appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion

to dismiss Conway’s civil action. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised

in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Conway’s informal brief does

not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Conway 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 deny as moot Conway’s pending “Motion to Leave the Court to Attend to

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Court Case.” 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
