Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Arenda L. Wright Allen, District Judge. (2:21-cv-00313-AWA-RJK)
Amos Jacob Arroyo, Appellant Pro Se.
Before HARRIS, QUATTLEBAUM, and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

PER CURIAM.
Amos Jacob Arroyo appeals the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to prosecute or comply with a court order. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Arroyo's informal brief does 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 affirm the district court's judgment. We deny Arroyo's motion to reconsider without prejudice to his right to seek relief in the district court in the first instance. 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
