PER CURIAM:

Robert W. Smith appeals the district court’s order dismissing his second amended

complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the

issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Smith’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,

(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.

AFFIRMED
