UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 23-6503

MATTHEW AARON SAFRIT,

 Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

TODD ISHEE,

 Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at 

Charlotte. Martin K. Reidinger, Chief District Judge. (3:23-cv-00166-MR)

Submitted: May 30, 2024 Decided: June 17, 2024

Before KING and AGEE, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Matthew A. Safrit, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

USCA4 Appeal: 23-6503 Doc: 9 Filed: 06/17/2024 Pg: 1 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Matthew Aaron Safrit seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his

28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge 

issues a certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A). A certificate of 

appealability will not issue absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional 

right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). When the district court denies relief on the merits, a 

prisoner satisfies this standard by demonstrating that reasonable jurists could find the 

district court’s assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong. See Buck v. 

Davis, 580 U.S. 100, 115-17 (2017). When the district court denies relief on procedural 

grounds, the prisoner must demonstrate both that the dispositive procedural ruling is 

debatable and that the petition states a debatable claim of the denial of a constitutional 

right. Gonzalez v. Thaler, 565 U.S. 134, 140-41 (2012) (citing Slack v. McDaniel, 529 

U.S. 473, 484 (2000)). 

We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Safrit has not made 

the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the 

appeal. 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

No. 01-60303 Conference Calendar

DARRELL L. BANKSTON, Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus ARIAN JOSEPH ALEXANDER, Etc.; ET AL., Defendants, ARIAN JOSEPH ALEXANDER, also known as Robert Alexander, Correctional Guard; CHARLIE POPE, Deputy Warden, Defendants-Appellees.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi

USDC No. 2:99-CV-321-PG

-------------------- June 18, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * Darrell L. Bankston, Mississippi state prisoner number R1725, filed a complaint in the district court alleging that correctional guard Arian Joseph Alexander used another inmate to attack Bankston and that deputy warden Charlie Pope failed toNo. 01-60303 -2- protect Bankston from the attack. The parties consented to the exercise of jurisdiction by the magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). The case was tried before a jury, which returned a verdict in favor of the defendants. The magistrate judge entered judgment dismissing the complaint. Bankston has appealed. Bankston contends: (1) that the jury verdict was contrary to the evidence presented at trial; (2) that the verdict form was misleading because it mischaracterized his claim against Alexander as an excessive-force claim; and (3) that the magistrate judge commented improperly during the trial that the defendants were represented by a "distinguished" law firm. Bankston has not provided the court with a trial transcript. It is the appellant’s responsibility to provide a transcript of all relevant evidence to support his appellate argument. See F ED . R.
A PP . P. 10(b)(2); Powell v. Estelle , 959 F.2d 22, 26 (5th Cir. 1992). Bankston's failure to provide a transcript prevents this court from reviewing these issues. Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed in part. See Richardson v. Henry , 902 F.2d 414, 416 (5th Cir. 1990). Bankston has not shown that the magistrate judge abused his discretion by denying his motion for appointment of counsel.
See Branch v. Cole , 686 F.2d 264, 266 (5th Cir. 1982). The magistrate judge's order is affirmed.
DISMISSED IN PART; AFFIRMED IN PART.

Malta remains a key international partner in addressing these issues of global importance.

## COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI

– EDINBURG

IN THE INTEREST OF G.C., J.C., A.C., A.C., C HILDREN
On Appellant’s First Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief.



## ORDER Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina

Order Per Curiam This is an appeal of a final order terminating parental rights. Appellant K.C. has filed a first motion for extension of time to file a brief. Appellant’s brief was due on February 22, 2021. Appellant has requested a ten

- day extension to file a brief. Appeals in parental termination and child protection cases are governed by the rules of appellate procedure for accelerated appeals but include additional expedited deadlines and procedures. See T EX

. R. A PP

. P . 28.4; T EX

. R. J UD

. A DMIN . 6.2(a). The
interme diate appellate courts are directed to ensure “as far as reasonably possible” that2

these appeals are brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. T EX

. R. J UD

. A DMIN . 6.2(a). Given the nature of these cases and the shortened appellate deadlines, it is the policy of this Court to limit extensions of time to
file a brief in such cases to one ten

- day extension of time absent truly extraordinary
circumstances. See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 38.6(d). This Court, having fully examin ed and considered appellant’s motion is of the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant’s first motion for extension of time to file a brief should be granted with order. The Court, however, requires strict adherence to the briefing rules in app eals of parental termination cases, such as this appeal, and looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by such extension requests. See T EX

. R. A PP

. P . 38.6;
see also id

. at R. 28.4. The Court GRANTS appellant’s first motion for extension of time. This moti on is GRANTED insofar as the Court will extend appellant’s deadline to file the brief for ten (10) days as requested by appellant. Further motions for extension of time will not be favorably entertained by this Court, absent extraordinary circumstances

Office of Overseas Schools

November 10, 2022

American college and universities highly value children like yours- dependents of U.S. citizens and who are attending middle school or high school outside the U.S.- for their international mindedness and exposure to a rigorous curriculum. But admissions to selective universities in the United States tends to create anxiety for applicants. And that apprehension has only been heightened during the last 18 months. How can you provide help and support, and ease the anxiety, for your children during their college admissions journey?

For the third year, we invite you join us for a timely, candid and (hopefully) calming virtual discussion about how U.S. universities review college applications. Experienced higher education admissions officers associated with the U.S. Department of State’s Overseas Schools Project (OSP) will provide advice and insight for parents and students, as students navigate the college admissions. Counselors and educators at assisted schools are also invited, should they wish to attend.

Recordings of each of the sessions can be accessed below:
