PER CURIAM:
Kamiah Kiyan Stewart appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s
motion for summary judgment and dismissing Stewart’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim for failure
to exhaust administrative remedies. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised
in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Stewart’s informal brief does not
challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, she 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, but
modify the court’s order to reflect that the dismissal is without prejudice. 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 AS MODIFIED
