UNITED STATES v. ABDULLAH (2021)

Muhammed Mahdee Abdullah appeals the district court's orders denying his motions for a sentence reduction pursuant to § 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194, compassionate release, and reconsideration.^* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Muhammed Abdullah, No. 5:04-cr-00371-FL-1 (E.D.N.C. July 24, 2020; Oct. 9, 2020). We also deny Abdullah's motion for appointment of counsel. 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.   Abdullah has waived review of the district court's denial of his motion for compassionate release because he did not raise the issue in his informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (limiting our review to issues raised in the informal brief).

PER CURIAM:

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
