United States v. Claiborne

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 00-4334 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus BEVERLY A. CLAIBORNE, JR., a/k/a BJ, a/k/a Tyrone Crooks, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Virginia, at Richmond. Richard L. Williams, Senior Dis- trict Judge. (CR-99-297) Submitted: September 20, 2000 Decided: February 22, 2001 Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Cary B. Bowen, D. Gregory Carr, BOWEN, BRYANT, CHAMPLIN & CARR, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellant. Helen F. Fahey, United States Attorney, Alessandra DeBlasio, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia; David T. Maguire, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Beverly A. Claiborne, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to dismiss the indictment on grounds of double jeopardy. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Claiborne, No. CR-99-297 (E.D. Va. Apr. 17, 2000).* 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 * Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on April 14, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on April 17, 2000. Pursuant to Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date that the order was physically entered on the docket sheet that we take as the effective date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986). 2
