PER CURIAM:
Weldon Eugene Holtzclaw, Jr., appeals the district court’s order imposing filing
restrictions due to Holtzclaw’s “voluminous, vexatious, and abusive filing practices.” On
appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.
34(b). Because Holtzclaw’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. United States v. Blouin, No. 6:25-
cv-11486-DCC-KFM (D.S.C. Sep. 3, 2025). 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
