USCA4 Appeal: 22-7343 Doc: 18 Filed: 07/24/2023 Pg: 3 of 3

PER CURIAM: Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas appeals the district court’s orders accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendations to (1) deny Assa’ad-Faltas’ motion for a temporary restraining order; and (2) dismiss, after a 28 U.S.C. § 1915 review, Assa’ad-Faltas’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief and in the Appellant’s objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendations. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also Martin v. Duffy, 858 F.3d 239, 245 (4th Cir. 2017). We have reviewed the record in conjunction with the preserved issues and have found no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Assa’ad-Faltas v. Moye, No. 3:22-cv-02018-TLW (D.S.C. Nov. 7, 2022). We deny Assa’ad-Faltas’ motions for appointment of counsel, to file a formal brief, for an extension of time to file a formal brief, and to file a supplemental brief and appendix, as well as her request to transfer this matter to a different district judge. 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
