PER CURIAM:
Franklin Antonio Benjamin appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate
judge’s recommendation and granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.
34(b). Because Benjamin’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
