Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 81 F.3d 152 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted: March 21, 1996. Decided: April 4, 1996

Bulathge Gunaratna, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Moss Ringler, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, MD, for Appellee.

Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion. Appellant alleges that a term of supervised release included as part of his sentence was improper under 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(b) (1) (A) (West 1981 & Supp.1995) (current version at 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(b) (l) (B) (West Supp.1995)). Appellant's claim is without merit, however, because he was sentenced under 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(b) (1) (B) (West 1981 & Supp.1995) (current version at 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(b) (1) (C) (West Supp.1995)), which allowed for a special parole term. Appellant's motion to expedite and alter time limits is denied. 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
