United States v. Griffin

17 F. App'x 78

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Keith Griffin seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal substantially on the reasoning of the district court. * United States v. Griffin, Nos. CR-97-262; CA-00-10 (E.D.Va. Mar. 23, 2001). 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.

DISMISSED.

* We note that after the district court issued its opinion, we concluded that when a defendant does not appeal, his conviction becomes final on the date judgment is entered. See United States v. Sanders, 247 F.3d 139, 142 (4th Cir.2001).
