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.”).
