PER CURIAM:
Rev. Thomas L. Davis appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing with prejudice his pro se amended
complaint. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error.* Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s order. Davis v. Goldsmith, No. 9:23-cv-03059-BHH (D.S.C.
filed Nov. 15, 2023 & entered Nov. 16, 2023). 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
* Davis’ informal brief does not challenge the district court’s conclusion that some
of his claims were barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Accordingly, he has
forfeited appellate review of that aspect of the district 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.”).
