PER CURIAM:
Gregory Keith Clinton appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to
recuse the presiding district judge in his criminal action. On appeal, we confine our review
to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Clinton’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 order. We deny Clinton’s “Motion to Vacate or Dismiss Document 40.” 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
