PER CURIAM:
Cherina Tidwell appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil complaint for
failure to state a claim and failure 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 Tidwell’s
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, she 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
