PER CURIAM
John Scott Hudson appeals the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014). We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion in the district court's dismissal of Hudson's Eighth Amendment claim as frivolous. See Nagy v. FMC Butner, 376 F.3d 252, 254, 256-57 (4th Cir. 2004) (stating standard of review and defining frivolous claim). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Hudson v. Basina, No. 5:20-ct-03368-M (E.D. N.C. May 14, 2021). 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.
