September 24, 2002
Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Harold Martin (“Martin”), federal prisoner # 24920-077,
appeals the district court’s dismissal of his petition for a writ
of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, stemming from his
1994 fraud convictions and sentence. The district court
determined that the claims were not cognizable under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 and dismissed the petition. Martin moves for the

appointment of counsel on appeal; that motion is DENIED. See
Schwander v. Blackburn, 750 F.2d 494, 502 (5th Cir. 1985).
Martin argues that his sentence should be vacated with
respect to restitution and supervised release, that the trial
court made evidentiary errors, and that there were errors in the
disposition of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, but these claims are
not cognizable under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Pack v. Yusuff,
218 F.3d 448, 451 (5th Cir. 2000). He argues that the district
court should have appointed him counsel, but such was not
required in this case. See Schwander, 750 F.2d at 502. He
argues that his petition was sent to the wrong division of the
district court and that the magistrate judge misconstrued the
relief sought, but the record refutes these arguments. He argues
that he should have been granted an extension of time to file
objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation,
but the objections he sought to raise pertained to non-cognizable
claims. He has abandoned his argument that the magistrate judge
lacked jurisdiction to consider his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition by
failing to raise it on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d
222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).
This appeal is without arguable merit and is frivolous. See
Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). Because
the appeal is frivolous, it is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
MOTION DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
