PER CURIAM: JoAnn Artis Stevens appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss and dismissing Stevens’ civil complaint. Limiting our review of the record to the issues raised in Stevens’ informal brief, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 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”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Stevens v. Town of Snow Hill, No. 4:19-cv-00156-D (E.D.N.C. June 8, 2021). 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
