        PER CURIAM:

               Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas appeals the district court’s orders accepting the

        magistrate judge’s recommendations to (1) deny Assa’ad-Faltas’ motion for a temporary

        restraining order; and (2) dismiss, after a 28 U.S.C. § 1915 review, Assa’ad-Faltas’ 42

        U.S.C. § 1983 action. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal

        brief and in the Appellant’s objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendations. See 4th

        Cir. R. 34(b); see also Martin v. Duffy, 858 F.3d 239, 245 (4th Cir. 2017). We have

        reviewed the record in conjunction with the preserved issues and have found no reversible

        error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Assa’ad-Faltas v. Moye, No.

        3:22-cv-02018-TLW (D.S.C. Nov. 7, 2022).             We deny Assa’ad-Faltas’ motions for

        appointment of counsel, to file a formal brief, for an extension of time to file a formal brief,

        and to file a supplemental brief and appendix, as well as her request to transfer this matter

        to a different district judge. 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
