PER CURIAM.
Daundra Grier filed suit against the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), the Housing Authority of Elkton, Maryland ("EHA"), and the Housing Authority of Dallas, Texas ("DHA"), asserting civil rights violations and violations of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671 to 2680, allegedly committed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. On appeal, Grier challenges the district court's orders granting HUD's and EHA's motions to dismiss and dismissing DHA from the action pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m).
We have reviewed the record in conjunction with the arguments Grier raises in her informal brief and have found no reversible error. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); see also Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) ("The informal brief is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues preserved in that brief."). We therefore affirm the district court's orders. See Grier v. HUD, No. 8:21-cv-02165-PX (D. Md. Nov. 1, 2022; Nov. 14, 2022; Dec. 6, 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.
