PER CURIAM:
Maahnchooh Donald Ghogomu appeals the magistrate judge’s order* dismissing for
failure to state a claim his civil complaint alleging intentional infliction of emotional
distress. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See
4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Ghogomu’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the
magistrate judge’s disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the 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 magistrate judge’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
* The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge in accordance with
28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
