United States v. Rose ( 2007 )

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 04-7123 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus EATON ROSE, a/k/a Tony Barrett, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Durham. N. Carlton Tilley, Jr., District Judge. (CR-01-421; CA-03-613-1) Submitted: June 18, 2007 Decided: December 11, 2007 Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Eaton Rose, Appellant Pro Se. Sandra Jane Hairston, Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Eaton Rose filed an appeal from the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. We previously granted a certificate of appealability on the sole issue of whether counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to file an appeal on Rose’s behalf. We denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal as to all other issues. See United States v. Rose, No. 04-7123 (4th Cir. July 31, 2007) (unpublished order). After full consideration of the informal briefs and record in this case pertaining to Rose’s remaining claim, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Rose v. United States, Nos. 1:01-cr-421-1; 1:03-cv-613 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 30, 2004). 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. AFFIRMED - 2 -
