PER CURIAM:
John Richard Newsome appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Newsome’s amended 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 complaint without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B), 1915A(b).
Limiting our review of the record to the issues raised in Newsome’s informal briefs, we
find no reversible error. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also 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. Newsome v. Floyd, No. 4:23-cv-03968-RBH (D.S.C.
Mar. 18, 2024). 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
