PER CURIAM:
Eric Lamont Spann appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation
of the magistrate judge and denying relief on Spann’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We
have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. Spann v. Greene, No. 8:23-cv-02240-DCN (D.S.C. Jul. 12, 2024).
Additionally, we deny Spann’s motions to add a new party to the case, to amend his
original complaint, to include a terminated Defendant, to amend the case caption to change
the first name of a terminated Defendant, and to establish personal involvement of all
terminated Defendants, because these motions address matters that Spann failed to
challenge in his informal brief. 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.”). We also deny
Spann’s motions for speedy trial, to appoint counsel, and for in-camera review. Finally,
we deny Greene’s motion to strike Spann’s supplemental briefs.
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
