United States v. Poole

410 F. App'x 590

Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Jason Conrad Poole appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his motions under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2010) and Fed.R.Crim.P. 36 and granting his motion to reduce sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court in its written order. United States v. Poole, Nos. 8:96-cr-00238-AW-l; 8:09-cv-01440-AW (D.Md. Dec. 4, 2009). * 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.

* We note the discrepancy between the oral sentence of 210 months and the revised order granting Poole's § 3582(c)(2) motion which imposes the mandatory minimum sentence of 240 months. We find the oral sentence ambiguous because its plain meaning would lead to "an irrational or absurd result.” United States v. Villano, 816 F.2d 1448, 1453 n. 6 (10th Cir.1987) (en banc). Therefore, we affirm the written sentencing order.
