PER CURIAM: Cherina Tidwell appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil complaint for failure to state a claim and failure 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 Tidwell’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, she 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
