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

Muhammad v. United States Department of Justice

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided October 23, 2001 · Wilkins, Niemeyer, Hamilton

21 F. App'x 148

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Karriem Wali Muhammad appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. See Muhammad v. United States, No. CA-01-1397-MJG (D.Md. May 22, 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.

AFFIRMED.

Assuming with deciding that Muhammad could assert a claim pursuant to the Supreme Court's decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), under § 2241, we note that he cannot demonstrate error because his sentences did not exceed the applicable statutory maximums. See United States v. Angle, No. 99-4662 slip op. at 5 (4th Cir. June 29, 2001) (en banc) (published).
