PER CURIAM:
Clarence Hanna appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to appoint
counsel and granting in part his motion to reconsider the dismissal without prejudice of his
civil case. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See
4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hanna’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 deny Hanna’s motion to appoint counsel and 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
