PER CURIAM:

David Dwayne Perry appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice

his civil rights action under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) based on his failure to comply with court

orders to pay the filing and administrative fee. On appeal, we confine our review to the

issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Perry’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.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. We deny Perry’s motions for a temporary restraining order and for conference

and scheduling for discovery. 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.
