PER CURIAM:

Katrina L. Webster and Kirk E. Webster appeal the district court's order dismissing their complaint filed pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e to 2000e-17. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court as to those claims preserved for appellate review.[*] Webster v. Austin, No. 1:20-cv-00009-TSE-MSN (E.D. Va. Feb. 28, 2020). 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 2 [*] Appellants' informal brief did not address their challenge to the processing of equal employment opportunity complaints or the district court's conclusion that Katrina Webster's claims against the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency were an improper attempt at claim splitting. Thus, we decline to consider these claims. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). And although Appellants challenge the district court's failure to permit amendment to their complaint, the claim they now assert is different than those they asserted in the district court. Thus, the claim asserted on appeal is not preserved for appellate review.
