PER CURIAM:
Robert W. Johnson appeals the district court’s orders denying his application to
proceed in forma pauperis and dismissing his civil complaint without prejudice under Fed.
R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failing to comply with a court order. On appeal, we confine our review
to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Johnson’s informal
and supplemental informal briefs do 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 the district court’s judgment. 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
