Submitted: January 20, 2022 Decided: January 24, 2022

Before WILKINSON, DIAZ, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Judson Witham, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Judson Witham appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of

the magistrate judge and dismissing his civil complaint under

(e)(2)(B).

On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.

34(b). Because Witham’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,

(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
