UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
TIMOTHY BERNARD SANCHIOUS,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Richmond. Richard L. Williams, Senior
District Judge. (3:04-cr-00233-RLW-1)
Submitted: August 26, 2010 Decided: September 3, 2010
Before KING and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Timothy Bernard Sanchious, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Wiley
Miller, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Timothy Bernard Sanchious appeals the district court’s
order denying his motion for reconsideration of the denial of
his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for a reduction in
sentence. We affirm.
In United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.2d 233, 235, we
concluded that a district court is without jurisdiction to
entertain a motion to alter or amend a judgment granting or
denying relief on a § 3582(c) motion unless the motion to alter
or amend was made to correct “an arithmetical, technical, or
other clear error.” Because Sanchious challenges the merits of
the district court’s decision in his motion to reconsider, we
conclude that the district court lacked jurisdiction to hear the
motion.
We therefore affirm the judgment of the district
court. 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
