Opinion

Courtney Brockington appeals the district courts order accepting the magistrate judges recommendation and dismissing Brockingtons civil complaint 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 Brockingtons informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district courts disposition, she has forfeited appellate review of the courts 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 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.
