                  UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                      FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

EDWARD JAMES EGAN,

                Petitioner – Appellant,

          v.

                Respondent – Appellee.

Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

               Edward James Egan, Sr., appeals the district court’s

order denying his self-styled “Motion for Appearance to Testify

in a [P]ending [M]atter.”           Because Egan’s informal briefs fail

to address the district court’s dismissal of the motion, this

issue    has    been   abandoned.       See   4th   Cir.   R.   34(b);   Wahi    v.

Charleston Area Med. Ctr., Inc., 562 F.3d 599, 607 (4th Cir.

2009).     In any event, we discern no infirmity in the district

court’s ruling.         Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

order.     Egan v.     Johnson,     No.    7:07-cv-00509-gec-mfu      (W.D.     Va.

Feb. 11, 2011).         We deny Egan’s motion for bail and dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately      presented   in    the     materials   before    the   court     and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                         AFFIRMED

                                          2
