PER CURIAM:
James Eric Wynn appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice
under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) his amended civil complaint* and the court’s orders
dismissing his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motions. On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Wynn’s informal brief,
as supplemented, does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, he has
forfeited appellate review of the court’s orders. 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. 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
* The district court’s dismissal order is final and appealable because the court did
not grant further leave to amend. Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 796 (4th Cir. 2022) (en
banc) (order).
