PER CURIAM:

David Randall James, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

complaint for failure to timely provide it with a new address and return a form

consenting to the withholding of fees. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues

raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because James’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 order. 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.
