U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, 2006

Waters v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided February 28, 2006 · Wilkinson, Motz, Gregory

172 F. App'x 478

Opinion

*479 PER CURIAM:

Dennis Merrimon Waters appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to alter or amend judgment pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e). * We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss this appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. See Waters v. United States, No. CA-04-51; CR-01-48 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 23, 2005). 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.

Waters’ sole claim on appeal is that the district court abused its discretion in denying his Rule 59(e) motion. Consequently, Waters has waived appellate review of the court’s underlying denial of his § 2255 motion. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
