PER CURIAM:
James C. Austin appeals the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)
complaint.∗ On appeal, we confine our review to the issues
raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
Because Austin’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for
the district court’s disposition, Austin has forfeited appellate
review of the court’s order. 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
∗ We conclude that the district court’s order is final and
appealable. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807
F.3d 619, 623-24, 629-30 (4th Cir. 2015).
