PER CURIAM:
Ta’Kaun Keontay Bingham appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 28
U.S.C. § 2254 petition without prejudice for failure to satisfy the filing fee. On appeal, we
confine our review to issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because
Bingham’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 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
