Before KING and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Thomas Raymond Firriolo, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Thomas Raymond Firriolo appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate
judge’s recommendation and dismissing Firriolo’s civil action without prejudice for failure
to state a federal cause of action. ∗ On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in
the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Firriolo’s informal brief does not
challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition of his claims, he has forfeited
appellate review of the court’s orders. 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 deny as moot Firriolo’s motion for a decision in this appeal. 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
∗
Although the district court dismissed the complaint without prejudice, we have
jurisdiction over this appeal. See Bing v. Brivo Sys., LLC, 959 F.3d 605, 615 (4th Cir.
2020).
