PER CURIAM:

Calvin Moore appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to comply with the court’s order. On appeal, we

confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because

Moore’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 order. 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
