USCA4 Appeal: 22-6109 Doc: 25 Filed: 09/13/2022 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Aron Freeland seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition and denying his pending motions. The district court dismissed Freeland’s § 2254 petition because he failed to comply with the court’s instruction to complete and submit the standardized form for § 2254 petitions. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. * We also deny Freeland’s motion to appoint counsel, motion to supplement the record, and supplemental motion to supplement the record. 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

* Because the district court dismissed Freeland’s § 2254 petition without prejudice, he may refile it using the standardized form.
