United States v. Thomas Majeed

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 12-6329 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. THOMAS JOHN MAJEED, a/k/a Isaac Abram Abraham, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. James A. Beaty, Jr., Chief District Judge. (1:00-cr-00204-WO-4) Submitted: April 19, 2012 Decided: April 26, 2012 Before NIEMEYER, SHEDD, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Thomas John Majeed, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Michael Hamilton, Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Thomas John Majeed appeals a district court order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006). We affirm. Because the amendment in question did not lower Majeed’s Guidelines sentence, we find the district did not abuse its discretion denying the motion. United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir. 2004) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. We deny Majeed’s motion for a stay pending appeal. 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 2
