United States Fourth Circuit

Affirming the district court's order dismissing a criminal defendant's appeal of the application of career-offender enhancements under the Sentencing Guidelines due to his prior South Carolina conviction for assault on a police officer while resisting arrest because a new Supreme Court precedent did not recognize a new right entitling the petitioner to relief, so the appeal was not timely.
