UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 12-6137
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
DEON STOTS, a/k/a Bama,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Robert G. Doumar, Senior
District Judge. (2:10-cr-00033-RGD-DEM-2)
Submitted: April 19, 2012 Decided: April 26, 2012
Before NIEMEYER, SHEDD, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Deon Stots, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant
United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Deon Stots appeals the district court’s denial of his
motion to reduce his sentence pursuant to the Fair Sentencing
Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111–220 (the “FSA”), as well as the
denial of his motion requesting that the district court
reconsider its ruling. Our review of the record demonstrates,
as the district court likewise concluded, that application of
the FSA to Stots’ circumstances does not alter his ultimate
offense level under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Because
Stots has shown no error in the district court’s calculations
regarding the application of the FSA to his case, we affirm the
underlying judgment of the district court. We note that the
district court lacked authority to grant Stots’ request for
reconsideration. See United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233,
235-36 (4th Cir. 2010). 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 in the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
