PER CURIAM:
Gregory K. Clinton appeals the district court’s order denying, pursuant to a prior
prefiling injunction, Clinton’s motion to correct his criminal judgment. 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, although we
grant Clinton’s motion to amend, 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
