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

Marshall v. Robertson

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided July 19, 2001 · Motz, Traxler, Hamilton

13 F. App'x 213

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Robert Earl Marshall appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000). 1 We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal substantially on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. 2 See Marshall v. Robertson, No. CA-00-231-3 (E.D.Va. Jan. 2, 2001). 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.

. The parties consented to jurisdiction of the magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(a) (West 1994 & Supp. 2000).

. Marshall raised several new claims for the first time in his informal brief on appeal. Marshall fails to present exceptional circumstances justifying review of these claims. We therefore decline to address them. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993).
