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.
