PER CURIAM:

Derek William Wragge appeals the district court’s order dismissing his amended

civil complaint for failure to state a claim pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B). On

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

34(b). Because Wragge’s informal and supplemental informal briefs do 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

all Wragge’s pending motions, including his motions requesting that his original complaint

be served and to update his original demand. We further deny as moot Wragge’s motions

to expedite. 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.
