PER CURIAM:
Robert Lose, Jr., appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s
recommendation and dismissing without prejudice Lose’s civil action challenging a state
court custody decision pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).* On appeal, we confine our review
to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Lose’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
* The district court’s order is final and appealable because the court did not give
Lose leave to amend his complaint. See Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 796 (4th Cir. 2022).
