PER CURIAM:
Iyanna Anderson appeals the district court’s order dismissing in part, and granting
summary judgment in part, in Anderson’s civil rights action. On appeal, we confine our
review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Anderson’s
informal brief does not challenge any aspect of the district court’s thorough and well-
reasoned opinion disposing of Anderson’s claims, she has forfeited appellate review of the
appealed-from 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
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
