PER CURIAM:
Mary M. Harris appeals the district court’s orders granting
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and denying Harris’
motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error.∗ Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Harris v. Maryland, No.
1:13-cv-02579-JFM (D. Md. Feb. 29, 2016). We deny Appellees’
motion for leave to file a surreply. 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
∗ In her informal brief, Harris fails to challenge the
district court’s denial of the motion for reconsideration and,
thus, forfeits review of that order. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b)
(“The Court will limit its review to the issues raised in the
informal brief.”); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th
Cir. 2014) (noting importance of informal brief and Rule 34(b)).
