UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Raymond Idemudia AIGBEKAEN, Defendant - Appellant.
Raymond Idemudia Aigbekaen appeals the district court's margin order denying his postjudgment motion to dismiss the indictment. Because we discern no clear error in the denial of this motion, see United States v. Woolfolk, 399 F.3d 590, 594 (4th Cir. 2005) (stating standard of review), we affirm the district court's order.* 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
FOOTNOTES
FOOTNOTE. We deny the Government's motion to dismiss the appeal as untimely. Although the district court received Aigbekaen's notice of appeal outside the 14-day appeal period, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(1)(A), we assume, for purposes of this appeal, that the date appearing on the notice was the earliest date it could have been delivered to prison officials for mailing. Fed. R. App. P. 4(c); Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 276, 108 S.Ct. 2379, 101 L.Ed.2d 245 (1988). Because Aigbekaen dated his notice of appeal one week after the district court entered its order, we conclude that the appeal is timely.
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
