*In his informal brief and informal reply brief, Ward asserts

error only in the district court’s denial of relief on his claims

against defendants Beaufort County Detention Center and Mark

Fitzgibbons. Accordingly, he has waived review of the denial of

relief against the other defendants. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (“The

Court will limit its review to the issues raised in the informal

brief.”).

PER CURIAM:

Joseph Grayson Ward appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.* We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court. Ward v. Beaufort

County Det. Ctr., No. 2:04-cv-00792-RBH (D.S.C. May 18, 2007). We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
