PER CURIAM:

Leo Brandon Farnsworth appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’

Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss and dismissing Farnsworth’s

action. Limiting our review to the issues raised in Farnsworth’s informal brief, we have

reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also 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 order. Farnsworth v. Northam,

No. 7:21-cv-00463-MFU-JCH (W.D. Va. Mar. 5, 2024). 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
