PER CURIAM:

Traci M. Guynup appeals the district court’s orders (1) granting summary judgment

to Defendant in Guynup’s

action; (2) denying Guynup’s motions to

reopen case and to recuse the district court judge; (3) denying Guynup’s motions to exclude

evidence, for sanctions, to disqualify/recuse the district court judge, and for a preliminary

injunction; (4) denying Guynup’s motion to add defendants; and (5) denying Guynup’s

motion for sanctions. Limiting our review of the record to the issues raised in the informal

brief, we find no reversible error. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey,

(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. Guynup v. Sumption, No. 5:20-cv-00086-TTC-RSB (W.D. Va.

Sept. 23, 2021; Sept. 24, 2021; Sept. 27, 2021; Oct. 1, 2021; Oct. 14, 2021). We deny

Guynup’s motion to expedite as moot, and we deny Guynup’s motions to reopen, to

remand, to disqualify/recuse the district court judge, to compel, and all other pending

motions. 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
