USCA4 Appeal: 22-6425 Doc: 6 Filed: 08/23/2022 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Najia Rahmani filed a notice of appeal on April 7, 2022, in her closed case seeking to terminate a guardian’s appointment. However, Rahmani failed to designate an appealable judgment or order in her notice of appeal or informal brief. See Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(1)(B). Because it is impossible to ascertain the order that Rahmani wishes to appeal, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 176- (4th Cir. 2014). We also deny her motion for appointment of counsel. 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.

DISMISSED
