PER CURIAM:
Ronald Satish Emrit appeals the district court’s order dismissing his pro se
complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Emrit’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 further deny Emrit’s motion to dismiss his appeal pursuant to Fed. R. App.
P. 42(b) because Emrit conditions his motion on the grant of an annulment of his marriage.
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
