United States v. Woods
United States v. Woods
Opinion
Samuel Gene Woods appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. * Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Woods, Nos. CR-91-1; CA-97-100-V (W.D.N.C. Feb. 1, 2002). 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.
Woods’ appeal of the February 1, 2002, denial of his motion for reconsideration, filed on April 12, 2002, is considered timely because judgment was not entered in a separate document requirement. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 58; Fiore v. Washington Co. Community Mental Health Ctr., 960 F.2d 229, 234 (1st Cir. 1992); Hollywood v. City of Santa Maria, 886 F.2d 1228, 1231 (9th Cir. 1989) (Rule 59 motion); Hughes v. Halifax County School Bd., 823 F.2d 832, 835 (4th Cir. 1987) (holding a document that attempts to combine the court's reasoning and its final disposition is not likely to be considered a separate document under Rule 58).
