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

     *
      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.”).
