PER CURIAM:
Debbie Benjamin appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil action 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 Benjamin’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
