UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Benita DINKINS-ROBINSON, Defendant - Appellant.
Benita Dinkins-Robinson appeals the district court's order denying relief on her 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. We previously granted a certificate of appealability on four discrete issues. As to those claims, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Dinkins-Robinson, Nos. 3:14-cr-00300-TLW-1; 3:18-cv-00435-TLW (D.S.C. Sept. 7, 2018). As to the claims for which a certificate of appealability was denied, we dismiss the appeal. We deny Dinkins-Robinson's motion for an evidentiary hearing. 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.
