PER CURIAM:
Robert Clifford Weddington appeals the district court’s order dismissing his
complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. We review the dismissal de novo. Martin v.
Duffy, 858 F.3d 239, 248 (4th Cir. 2017) (stating standard of review). We limit our review
to issues raised in Weddington’s informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); 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.”). We conclude
that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Weddington’s motion for
default judgment. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
