PER CURIAM:
Stanley Marynowski appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion
to dismiss his claims brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42
U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, and the American with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101
to 12213. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See
4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Marynowski’s informal brief does not challenge the bases 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
