   SUMMARY ORDER

Appellant Elijah W. Ratcliff, pro se, appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his complaint against various government officials for allegedly withholding Social Security benefits and increasing costs related to his disability. We assume the parties = familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.

The district court dismissed the complaint under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii) as the complaint was “virtually identical” to a previously-filed complaint dismissed as frivolous in Ratcliff v. Lighty, No. 14-CV-2704 (S.D.N.Y. May 27, 2014) (ECF Docket No. 4). The district court dismissed the instant complaint for the reasons set forth in its previous order. Ratcliff v. Lighty, No. 14-cv-3680 (S.D.N.Y. June 2, 2014) (ECF Docket No. 5).

We review de novo a district court’s sua sponte dismissal of a complaint pursuant to § 1915(e)(2). Giano v. Goord, 250 F.3d 146, 149-50 (2d Cir.2001). The complaint must plead “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007). “A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009). First, Ratcliff waived appellate review of nearly all of his claims by failing to challenge the basis for the district court’s dismissal on appeal. See Norton v. Sam’s Club, 145 F.3d 114, 117 (2d Cir.1998) (“Issues not sufficiently argued in the briefs are considered waived and normally will not be addressed on appeal.”). Second, even if we were to consider those claims, our independent review of the record and case law demonstrates that the district court correctly dismissed the complaint for the reasons set forth in its order dismissing the case. We have considered Ratcliffs remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
