UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 20-7742
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
ALLAH BURMAN, a/k/a A,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore.
James K. Bredar, Chief District Judge. (1:01-cr-00115-JKB-5; 1:20-cv-03003-JKB)
Submitted: October 14, 2021 Decided: January 11, 2022
Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, RICHARDSON, Circuit Judge, and SHEDD, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Allah Burman, Appellant Pro Se. Lauren Elizabeth Perry, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Allah Burman appeals the district court’s order construing his petition for writ of
habeas corpus as a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and dismissing it without prejudice
for failure to obtain pre-filing authorization from this Court. ∗ We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Burman’s pending motions and affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Burman, No. 1:01-cr-
00115-JKB-5 (D. Md. Oct. 20, 2020). 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
∗
We deny a certificate of appealability as unnecessary. See Harbison v. Bell, 556
U.S. 180, 183 (2009); Fontanez v. O’Brien, 807 F.3d 84, 86 (4th Cir. 2015); United States
v. McRae, 793 F.3d 392, 400 (4th Cir. 2015).
