Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 81 F.3d 152 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted: March 5, 1996. Decided: March 26, 1996

Earl Tyrone Williams, Appellant Pro Se.

Gregory Welsh, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion. Although he raises several ineffective assistance of counsel claims, he fails to establish prejudice. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984). Furthermore, Appellant's sentence of supervised release for a crime committed on July 1, 1987, does not violate the Ex Post Facto clause. Gozlon-Peretz v. United States, 498 U.S. 395, 409-10 (1991). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. 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
