Larry Gary, Jr., appeals from the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 *726 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error. In the briefing order, Gary was warned that this court would not consider issues not specifically raised in his informal brief. See Local R. 34(b). Nonetheless, Gary’s informal brief does not challenge the district court’s finding that he had filed his complaint outside the three-year limitations period, but instead addresses the merits of his claims. Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
