PER CURIAM:
Mustafa Ozsusamlar appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Ozsusamlar’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 Ozsusamlar’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
