Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-6266

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff – Appellee,

v.

MALCOLM ROBERT LEE MELVIN,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. R. Bryan Harwell, District Judge. (4:11-cr-00079-RBH-1)

Submitted: April 24, 2014 Decided: April 29, 2014

Before NIEMEYER, SHEDD, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Malcolm Robert Lee Melvin, Appellant Pro Se. Alfred William Walker Bethea, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Malcolm Robert Lee Melvin appeals the district court’s

text order denying his motion for counsel and for an extension

of time to file a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. On appeal, we

confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s

brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Melvin’s informal brief

does not challenge the basis for the district court’s

disposition, Melvin has forfeited appellate review of the

court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. 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
