PER CURIAM:

Robert Clifford Weddington appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

complaint pursuant to

. We review the dismissal de novo. Martin v.

Duffy,

(4th Cir. 2017) (stating standard of review). We limit our review

to issues raised in Weddington’s informal brief. 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.”). We conclude

that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Weddington’s motion for

default judgment. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
