PER CURIAM: Rhonda L. Jackson appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Jackson’s civil complaint as barred by res judicata.

On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Jackson’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, she 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 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
