USCA4 Appeal: 22-7329 Doc: 9 Filed: 02/24/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Azim Rahim appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Rahim’s informal brief does not challenge the bases 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 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
