Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 USCA4 Appeal: 24-6260 Doc: 32 Filed: 02/25/2025 Pg: 3 of 3 PER CURIAM: Albert Marquavious Lamar Anderson appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing Anderson’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint without prejudice to Anderson’s filing of a new complaint that cures the defects identified by the magistrate judge. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Anderson’s informal brief and supplemental informal brief do not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the court’s 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 deny all pending motions and affirm the district court’s 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. AFFIRMED 3
