    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's order denying Lafawn Dewayne Bobbitt's motion for appointment of counsel to investigate new evidence in his 1998 criminal case. Bobbitt had been convicted in 1998 and the conviction was affirmed on appeal. The Court of Appeals found that because Bobbitt was not eligible for court-appointed counsel at this stage, the district court properly denied his motion. The appellate court dispensed with oral argument, finding the facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the case materials.
