PER CURIAM:
Keith Edward Kasyjanski appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Kasyjanski’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).* On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Kasyjanski’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
* This case returns to us following a limited remand for the district court to
determine whether Kasyjanski was entitled to a reopening of the appeal period pursuant to
Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). The district court reopened the appeal period.
