Cirincione v. Smith

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 99-7278 LEONARD PAUL CIRINCIONE, Petitioner - Appellant, versus SEWALL SMITH; J. JOSEPH CURRAN, JR., Respondents - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (CA-99-328-AW) Submitted: August 31, 2000 Decided: September 14, 2000 Before NIEMEYER and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Larry Allen Nathans, Jason D. Tulley, BENNETT & NATHANS, L.L.P., Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellant. Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Leonard Paul Cirincione appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000). 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 the appeal on the rea- soning of the district court. See Cirincione v. Smith, No. CA-99- 328-AW (D. Md. July 30, 1999). We grant Cirincione’s motion to file a supplemental brief and have considered his brief in re- viewing this appeal. We deny Cirincione’s motion to remand. 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 2
