Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Thomas M. Accardi, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Thomas M. Accardi, Sr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) for failure to state a claim. Accardi forfeited appellate review of the portion of the district court’s order dismissing Defendants Herring and Burgess from the action. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); 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.”). As to the claims against the remaining Defendants, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Accardi v. Herring, No. 5:19-ct-03107-D (E.D.N.C. Dec. 18, 2019). We deny Accardi’s request to appoint counsel. 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.
