UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 20-7887
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
DARRON OWENS, a/k/a Dee,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at
Orangeburg. Cameron McGowan Currie, Senior District Judge. (5:01-cr-00084-CMC-3)
Submitted: July 20, 2021 Decided: August 18, 2021
Before MOTZ, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Darron Owens, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Darron Owens appeals the district court’s order denying Owens’ motion for a
sentence reduction pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 132
Stat. 5194, 5222. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal
brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Owens’ informal brief does not fairly challenge the
basis for the district court’s disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the court’s
order. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal brief is
an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues
preserved in that brief.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
