PER CURIAM:

Weldon Eugene Holtzclaw, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

complaint for failure to prosecute. On appeal, we confine our review to

the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Holtzclaw’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 deny Holtzclaw’s

pending appellate “motion to appeal,” and 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
