Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

PER CURIAM.
Claude Sloan appeals the district court's order denying his motion for production of documents pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Sloan's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition of this motion, 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 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
