PER CURIAM:

Weldon Eugene Holtzclaw, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil 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, 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 Holtzclaw’s pending appellate motions, 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
