PER CURIAM: Robert W. Johnson appeals the district court’s orders denying his application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissing his civil complaint without prejudice under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failing to comply with a court order. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Johnson’s informal and supplemental informal briefs do not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the court’s orders. 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
