        PER CURIAM:

               Edward Bernard McKee appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s

        motion to dismiss McKee’s discrimination claims, brought pursuant to Title VII of the

        Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17. Upon review of the record, in

        conjunction with the arguments McKee raises in his informal brief, we discern no

        reversible error. 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.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district

        court’s order.   McKee v. N.C. Dep’t of Env’t Quality, No. 5:22-cv-00409-BO-RN

        (E.D.N.C. filed July 13, 2023 & entered July 14, 2023). 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
