PER CURIAM:

       In these consolidated appeals, Therl Taylor appeals the district court’s orders

accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge and dismissing Taylor’s 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) complaints for failure to state a claim and counting each case as a strike. 1

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. 2 Taylor v. Grubbs, No. 2:15-cv-04958-RMG (D.S.C.

Feb. 3, 2017); Taylor v. Pate, No. 2:16-cv-02115-RMG (D.S.C. Feb. 3, 2017); Taylor v.

Worrick, No. 2:16-cv-03084-RMG (D.S.C. Feb. 3, 2017). 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




       1
         We previously determined that Taylor could proceed in forma pauperis in these
appeals. See Taylor v. Grubbs, 930 F.3d 611, 614, 620 (4th Cir. 2019) (holding that, for
purposes of three strikes rule of Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (2012),
“a district court’s dismissal of a prisoner’s complaint does not, in an appeal of that
dismissal, qualify as a ‘prior dismissal’”).
       2
          In Appeal Nos. 17-6375 and 17-6376, Taylor forfeited appellate review of the
district court’s orders because his informal briefs in those cases did not challenge the bases
for the district court’s disposition. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (directing appellants to present
“specific issues and supporting facts and arguments” in informal brief).
