United States v. Smith

Citation: 429 F. App'x 346Docket: No. 11-6007

Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; May 20, 2011; Federal Appellate Court

EnglishEspañolSimplified EnglishEspañol Fácil
Michael Justin Smith appeals the district court's denial of his "Motion to Defer Payment Schedule" concerning his court-ordered criminal monetary penalties. The appellate court affirms the district court's order, noting that the district court lacked the authority to grant the relief sought by Smith. The decision references the underlying case, United States v. Smith, No. 5:05-cr-00207-F-1 (E.D.N.C. Nov. 22, 2010). The court concludes that oral argument is unnecessary as the facts and legal arguments are sufficiently detailed in the materials submitted. The ruling is affirmed. Unpublished opinions, such as this one, do not establish binding precedent in the circuit.
