PER CURIAM
Michael T. Braxton appeals the district court's order adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Braxton v. Scarborough, No. 8:22-cv-01106-HMH (D.S.C. May 17, 2022). In addition, we note that numerous claims are raised by Braxton for the first time on appeal. We decline to consider these claims. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993) (holding that claims raised for the first time on appeal generally will not be considered, absent exceptional circumstances of plain error or fundamental miscarriage of justice); First Virginia Banks, Inc. v. BP Exploration &Oil, Inc., 206 F.3d 404, 407 n.1 (4th Cir. 2000) (declining to consider issues raised for first time on appeal). 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
