PER CURIAM:
Amos Arroyo appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action without prejudice under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failure to comply with the district
court’s order to file an amended complaint. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues
raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Arroyo’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 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
