United States v. Jimmy Edwards, Jr.

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 12-7912 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff – Appellee, v. JIMMY EDWARDS, JR., Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Wilmington. James C. Dever, III, Chief District Judge. (7:07-cr-00011-D-1) Submitted: March 28, 2013 Decided: April 1, 2013 Before NIEMEYER, KING, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jimmy Edwards, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer P. May-Parker, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Jimmy Edwards, Jr., appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for a sentence departure under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 5H1.11 (2012). As Edwards was sentenced in 2007, his motion is untimely. In addition, to the extent Edwards relies upon Amendment 739 to the Guidelines (amending § 5H1.11 in 2010), this amendment has not been made retroactively applicable. See USSG § 1B1.10(c). Accordingly, we affirm. 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 2
