Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at

                                            2
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).
