PER CURIAM:
Clarence Goodwin Perkins appeals the district court’s order
amending a judgment in a criminal case. We have reviewed the rec-
ord and the district court’s order and find no reversible error.
The claims Perkins raises in his informal brief were not raised
before the district court and cannot be raised for the first time
on appeal. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir.
1993). We 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
