PER CURIAM:
Devin Jerell Coaxum appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint
without prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failure to prosecute or comply with
a court order and directing that the case be closed. On appeal, we confine our review to
the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Coaxum’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
