PER CURIAM:
Antwyn Gibbs appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s
recommendation and dismissing without prejudice Gibbs’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.* On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.
34(b). Because Gibbs’ 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
* See Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 794 (4th Cir. 2022) (en banc) (order) (“It is well-
established that dismissals made without prejudice when leave to amend is denied are final
and appealable.”).
