United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Marion William Dodson, Jr., Defendant-appellant, 14 F.3d 597 (4th Cir. 1993)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 14 F.3d 597 (4th Cir. 1993) Dec. 23, 1993

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria.

Marion William Dodson, Jr., appellant pro se.

Christine Fay Wright, Office of the United States Attorney, for Appellee.

E.D. Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before WILKINS, HAMILTON, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


OPINION

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his motion for specific enforcement of the paragraph in his plea agreement providing that the government reserved the right to move for a substantial assistance departure at or after sentencing, pursuant to sentencing guideline section 5K1.1*  or Fed. R. Crim. P. 35(b), if it found that such a motion was warranted. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Dodson, No. CR-91-111-A (E.D. Va. July 17, 1992). 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
