PER CURIAM:
Jose Peregrina-Paez appeals the district court’s order dismissing his action for
failure to prosecute. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal
brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Peregrina-Paez’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
