PER CURIAM:
Michael Duchelle Green appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action without prejudice for failing to comply with a court order. On appeal, we
confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because
Green’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 and deny Green’s pending motions. 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
