United States v. Satterwhite

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Curtis Satterwhite appeals the order of the district court denying Satterwhite’s motion for resentencing. Satterwhite filed *450 this motion several years after his sentence was affirmed on direct appeal * and his challenge under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000), was rejected. There is simply no statutory or other authority for reconsidering his sentence at this late date. Accordingly, the district court was without jurisdiction to consider the motion, and we affirm its denial of relief. 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.

*

The district court’s order stated that Satterwhite had not timely appealed his conviction and sentence. This is erroneous. Nevertheless, the district court did not have jurisdiction to reconsider Satterwhite’s sentence, so the error is harmless.
