United States v. Cooper
Opinion
Ricky Cooper appeals the district court’s order denying his demand for discovery and motion for a new trial under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33. After hearing oral argument and reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable law, this Court determines that no jurisprudential purpose would be served by a panel opinion and affirms the district court’s decision for the reasons stated in that court’s opinion.
The Court also declines to review Cooper’s claim that he is entitled to re-sentencing in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), as he failed to raise the claim in the motion that is the subject of this appeal. Had Cooper raised the claim before the district court, it would have been foreclosed by Humphress v. United States, 398 F.3d 855, 860 (6th Cir. 2005), because “Booker’s rule does not apply retroactively in collateral proceedings.”
