PER CURIAM:
Roderick Sanford appeals the district court’s orders accepting the magistrate judge’s
recommendations and dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction Sanford’s civil
action seeking relief under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-80.
Limiting our review to the issues raised in Sanford’s informal brief, we have reviewed the
record and 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 orders. Sanford v. United States, No. 0:21-cv-02552-RMG
(D.S.C. Apr. 25, 2022; Dec. 2, 2022). 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
