We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Spann v. Greene, No. 8:23-cv-02240-DCN (D.S.C. Jul. 12, 2024). Additionally, we deny Spann’s motions to add a new party to the case, to amend his original complaint, to include a terminated Defendant, to amend the case caption to change the first name of a terminated Defendant, and to establish personal involvement of all terminated Defendants, because these motions address matters that Spann failed to challenge in his 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 also deny Spann’s motions for speedy trial, to appoint counsel, and for in-camera review. Finally, we deny Greene’s motion to strike Spann’s supplemental briefs. 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
