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 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 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
and deny all of Firriolo’s pending motions. 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).
