United States v. Landingham
Citation: 353 F. App'x 803Docket: No. 09-7075
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; December 1, 2009; Federal Appellate Court
James Clayton Landingham's appeal against the district court's order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) has been affirmed by a PER CURIAM opinion. The court found that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion, referencing precedent cases such as United States v. Goines and United States v. Legree, which establish that such motions are subject to the district court's discretion. The affirmance is based on the reasons provided in the district court's order dated May 22, 2009. The court concluded that oral argument was unnecessary as the existing materials sufficiently addressed the facts and legal issues.
