    PER CURIAM:
    Joshua Fitzgerald Reid appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a
    sentence reduction pursuant to 
    18 U.S.C. § 3582
    (c)(2) and Guidelines Amendment 821.
    On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R.
    34(b). Because Reid’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 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
