Limiting our review of the record to the issues raised in Ritchie’s informal brief, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also 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.”), we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Ritchie v. Lavi, Cedrone, Graver, Boyd & Disipio, No. 8:23-cv-03115-PX (D. Md. Aug. 28, 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 3
