United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. William Wright, Jr., Defendant-appellant, 74 F.3d 1235 (4th Cir. 1996)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 74 F.3d 1235 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted Dec. 29, 1995. Decided Jan. 18, 1996

Sterling H. Weaver, Sr., WEAVER LAW OFFICES, Portsmouth, Virginia, for Appellant. Helen F. Fahey, United States Attorney, Alan M. Salsbury, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


William Wright, Jr., appeals the 51-month sentence imposed by the district court after his previous sentence was reversed and remanded for resentencing. Wright contends that the district court erred in failing to depart on the ground of sentence manipulation. Because a decision not to depart from the guideline range is not reviewable on appeal, United States v. Bayerle, 898 F.2d 28, 31 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 819 (1990), we dismiss the appeal.

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.
