Rico Greer, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 23-6937 Doc: 9 Filed: 12/27/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Rico Greer appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

petition without prejudice for failure to comply with the court’s prior order directing him

to submit court-approved forms and denying as moot his motion to suppress statements.

On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.

34(b). Because Greer’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,

(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
