UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-7415

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

WILLIAM SYKES, a/k/a Black,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:13-cr-00350-LMB-3)

Submitted: November 17, 2015 Decided: November 20, 2015

Before SHEDD, DUNCAN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William Sykes, Appellant Pro Se. Dennis Michael Fitzpatrick, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

William Sykes appeals the district court’s order denying

his motion for postjudgment discovery. On appeal, we confine

our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See

4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Sykes’ informal brief does not

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Sykes

has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order.

Accordingly, we deny Sykes’ motion for appointment of counsel,

deny Sykes’ motion for an evidentiary hearing, and affirm the

district court’s order. 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
