UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. GING-HWANG TSOA, a/k/a Felicia Tsoa, Defendant-Appellant.
Ging-Hwang Tsoa was convicted in the district court of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349 (2018), and bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 1344 (2018), and was sentenced in February 2014 to 30 months’ imprisonment. In August 2019, Tsoa filed a notice of appeal. The notice lists various district court case numbers but does not properly “designate the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed.” Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(1)(B). Although Tsoa states in her notice of appeal and informal brief that she seeks to appeal orders entered in August and November 2019, there are no corresponding orders on or near those dates on the district court’s docket.
Because it is not possible for us to ascertain the judgment or order that Tsoa wishes to appeal, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 176-77 (4th Cir. 2014). We deny Tsoa’s motions to appoint counsel and schedule oral argument. 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.
