UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-6955 KARRIEM WALI MUHAMMAD, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE; JOHN ASHCROFT, Respondents - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Marvin J. Garbis, District Judge. (CA-01- 1397-MJG) Submitted: August 17, 2001 Decided: October 23, 2001 Before WILKINS and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Karriem Wali Muhammad, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Karriem Wali Muhammad appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the rea- soning of the district court. See Muhammad v. United States, No. CA-01-1397-MJG (D. Md. May 22, 2001).* 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 * Assuming with deciding that Muhammad could assert a claim pursuant to the Supreme Court’s decision in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), under § 2241, we note that he cannot demon- strate error because his sentences did not exceed the applicable statutory maximums. See United States v. Angle, No. 99-4662 slip op. at 5 (4th Cir. June 29, 2001) (en banc) (published). 2
