Accordingly, we grant Cousins’ motions to amend or correct informal brief and to amend and clarify the record pertaining to the informal brief, treat those motions as supplemental informal briefs, deny Cousins’ motion to appoint counsel, and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Cousins, No. 4:10-cr-00047-RBS-TEM-1 (E.D. Va. July 10, 2020). 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 2
