PER CURIAM:

William Washington appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). In his informal brief, Washington does not

challenge the bases for the district court’s decision. As such, he has waived any argument

that the district court’s ruling was in error. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey,

(4th Cir. 2014) (recognizing that “[t]he 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. Washington v. Few, No. 9:22-

cv-02486-MGL (D.S.C. Apr. 20, 2023). 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
