PER CURIAM:
Antonio C. Monroe appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant summary
judgment in Monroe’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging Defendant was deliberately
indifferent to Monroe’s serious medical needs. On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Monroe’s informal brief
does not challenge the basis 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
order. 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
