PER CURIAM:
Susan Neal Matousek appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil action
for lack of jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Matousek’s informal brief does not
challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Matousek 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 deny Matousek’s motion for an en banc hearing in May 2019 and
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
