PER CURIAM:

       Azaniah Blankumsee appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. * We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Blankumsee v.

Md. Dep’t of Pub. Safety & Corr. Servs., DPSCS, No. 8:16-cv-02801-PWG (D. Md.

Sept. 8, 2017). We dismiss Janice Gilmore as a party, in light of her recent death and the

fact that we are affirming the district court’s judgment. 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 IN PART,
                                                                    DISMISSED IN PART

       *
          Although Blankumsee lists the district court’s court May 2, 2017, order in his
notice of appeal, he does not raise any issues related to this order in his informal briefs.
See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (recognizing that we limit our review to issues raised in informal
brief); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014).
