USCA4 Appeal: 24-1919 Doc: 21 Filed: 02/26/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Arthur Massey appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his complaint without prejudice 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 Massey’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.”). Accordingly, we deny his motions to appoint counsel and dismiss party and 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
