We have reviewed the record and Nance’s arguments in his informal brief, as amended, and we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Nance’s motion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Nance, No. 7:92-cr-00135-JPJ-1 (W.D. Va. Apr. 25, 2025). We deny Nance’s motion for appointment of counsel and 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.
