        PER CURIAM:

               Lisa Blackman Speach appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate

        judge’s recommendation to grant Defendant summary judgment on Speach’s

        discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and constructive discharge claims, brought

        pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, and

        to deny as moot Speach’s motion to compel. On appeal, we confine our review to the

        issues raised in the Appellant’s informal brief, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), as well as to those

        issues properly preserved in the parties’ objections to the magistrate judge’s

        recommendations, see Martin v. Duffy, 858 F.3d 239, 245 (4th Cir. 2017). We have

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

        Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Speach v. Bon Secours Health Sys., Inc.,

        No. 6:22-cv-00884-HMH (D.S.C. Mar. 1, 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

                                                    2
