United States v. Crystal Powell Harris, A/K/A Crystal Powell
Citations: 37 F.3d 1496; 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 34919; 1994 WL 564584Docket: 94-6077
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; October 17, 1994; Federal Appellate Court
Crystal Powell Harris, the defendant-appellant, appealed the denial of her 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The appeal was submitted on September 26, 1994, and decided on October 17, 1994, by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, consisting of Chief Judge Ervin and Judges Wilkinson and Hamilton. The court affirmed the district court's decision, finding the appeal without merit and agreeing with the reasoning provided in the district court's opinion dated January 4, 1994. The court determined that no oral argument was necessary as the issues were sufficiently clear from the submitted materials. Additionally, the court denied Harris's request for a transcript at government expense, citing her failure to demonstrate a specific need for it, referencing the case Jones v. Superintendent, Va. State Farm.
