PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Weldon Eugene Holtzclaw, Jr., appeals the district
court’s orders dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to prosecute and
denying several postjudgment motions to amend. 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 deny Holtzclaw’s
pending appellate motions, and 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
