Unpublished Dispositiondale Stanley, Petitioner-appellant, v. United States of America, Respondent-appellee, 902 F.2d 1569 (6th Cir. 1990)

ORDER

This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Dale Stanley filed a motion to vacate sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in which he contended that his 1987 bank robbery sentence should be recalculated according to the Guidelines established by the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984. The district court denied the relief sought and this appeal followed. The parties have briefed the issues, Stanley proceeding without counsel.

Upon consideration, we find that the district court correctly declined to grant the motion. Stanley's crime occurred prior to November 1, 1987, the effective date of the legislation in which the Sentencing Guidelines are contained. He was thus properly sentenced under pre-existing law. United States v. Smith, 874 F.2d 371, 372-73 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 110 S. Ct. 137 (1989).

Accordingly, the district court's judgment is affirmed. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
