FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 06-7804
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
NEVILLE A. HUTCHINSON,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior
District Judge. (1:01-cr-00206-JCC; 1:03-cv-00683-JCC)
Submitted: March 29, 2007 Decided: April 4, 2007
Before MOTZ, TRAXLER, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Neville A. Hutchinson, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas More Hollenhorst,
Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Neville A. Hutchinson seeks to appeal the district
court’s denial of several incomprehensible pleadings construed by
the court as post-judgment motions in Hutchinson’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255(2000) proceeding. By failing to challenge the district court’s
characterization of his pleadings or the grounds for denying
relief, Hutchinson has waived appellate review of the district
court’s order. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (“The Court will limit its
review to the issues raised in the informal brief.”). Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
