USCA4 Appeal: 22-1861 Doc: 23 Filed: 02/23/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Charles Anthony Dread appeals the district court’s order dismissing his amended complaint asserting multiple claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, based on his failure to timely file an administrative change.

On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Dread’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.”). We deny Dread’s petition for review and a writ of mandamus and deny as moot his motion to reopen this appeal. 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
