PER CURIAM:

Ta’Kuan Bingham appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

action pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B)(ii) for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we

confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because

Bingham’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.”). Specifically,

Bingham has not challenged on appeal the district court’s conclusions that his claims are

barred by the statute of limitations, by Heck v. Humphrey,

512 U.S. 477

(1994), and by

prosecutorial immunity. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Bingham

v. Shaw, No. 1:24-cv-01034-RDA-LRV (E.D. Va. Oct. 30, 2024). 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.
