Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 21-7251 Doc: 6 Filed: 01/25/2022 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Sean Lamont Dudley appeals the district court’s order denying Dudley’s motion

challenging the conditions of his confinement under

(a)(2). On appeal,

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

Because Dudley’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 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
