U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, 2001

United States v. Dehaney

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided May 4, 2001 · Luttig, Motz, Hamilton

8 F. App'x 237

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Derrick Hugh Dehaney seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U..S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no *238 reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certifícate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. * United States v. Dehaney, Nos. CR-96-49; CA-99-343 (W.D.Va. Dec. 6, 2000). 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.

DISMISSED.

Dehaney also raises on appeal an equal protection claim that he did not assert in the district court. This court will not address issues raised for the first time on appeal except in exceptional circumstances not present here. Grossman v. Commissioner, 182 F.3d 275, 280-81 (4th Cir. 1999).
