UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-2388
In Re: ALLAH BURMAN, a/k/a A,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. (1:01-cr-00115-BEL-5)
Submitted: June 1, 2010 Decided: June 4, 2010
Before GREGORY, SHEDD, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Allah Burman, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Allah Burman petitions for an original writ of habeas
corpus, alleging errors in his criminal trial and challenging
the constitutionality of his sentence. This court ordinarily
declines to entertain original habeas petitions filed under 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2006), and this case provides no reason to depart
from the general rule. Moreover, we find that the interests of
justice would not be served in transferring the case to the
district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631 (2006); Fed. R. App. P.
22(a). Accordingly, although we grant Burman’s motion to amend
the petition and grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we
deny the petition. 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.
PETITION DENIED
