PER CURIAM:
Dwayne Mitchell Littlejohn, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order
denying his petition for a writ of error coram nobis. Having reviewed the record, we are
satisfied that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the petition based on
Littlejohn’s failure to establish a valid reason for his delay in seeking relief. See United
States v. Lesane, 40 F.4th 191, 196-97 (4th Cir. 2022) (stating standard of review and
explaining requirements for coram nobis relief). Accordingly, we affirm. We also deny
Littlejohn’s motion to appoint 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.
AFFIRMED
