PER CURIAM:
Naveed Khan appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant NuVasive,
LLC’s motion to dismiss Khan’s products liability action for failure to state a claim and
dismissing the action in its entirety. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised
in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Khan’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 Fouth Circuit rules, our review is limited
to issues preserved in that brief.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Khan
v. NuVasive, LLC, No. 1:25-cv-01064-LMB-WEF (E.D. Va. Aug. 1, 2025). 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
