PER CURIAM:
Ronnie Williams appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s
recommendation and dismissing Williams’ employment discrimination suit for failure to
participate in discovery. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Williams’ informal brief does not
challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Williams 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
