Sean Darnell Jeffries appeals the district courts order denying his motion for compassionate release. Although Jeffries focuses his appellate argument on the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, his informal brief does not challenge the district courts conclusion that no extraordinary and compelling circumstances existed to warrant compassionate release. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Therefore, Jeffries has forfeited appellate review of the courts primary basis for denying his motion. 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.”); see also UNC (recognizing that court must first find extraordinary and compelling reasons before considering the § 3553(a) factors). Accordingly, we affirm the district courts 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.
