Mooney v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit January 28, 2010

Mooney v. United States, 409 F. App'x 620 (4th Cir. 2010)

Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Reginald Bernard Mooney, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006) petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Mooney v. United States, No. 3:08-cv-03652-PMD-JRM (D.S.C. Sept. 8, 2009). * 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

Any issues Mooney seeks to raise other that the applicability of the Supreme Court’s decision in Watson v. United States, 552 U.S. 74, 128 S.Ct. 579, 169 L.Ed.2d 472 (2007), must be raised in the sentencing court, in a motion to vacate under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp. 2009) after obtaining authorization to do so. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3) (2006), § 2255(h).
