PER CURIAM:
Adrien Tyrone Hurley appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) and for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief.
See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hurley’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 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
