Summary of this case from United States v. Stowers

Opinion

Nos. 09-7654, 09-7698.

Submitted: October 26, 2010.

Decided: November 5, 2010.

Appeals from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Frank D. Whitney, District Judge. (3:02-cr-00199-FDW-1; 3:06-cv-00471-FDW).

Randolph Hunt, Appellant Pro Se. Amy Elizabeth Ray, Assistant United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Before DUNCAN and AGEE, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


Randolph Hunt appeals the district court's orders denying his motion for correction of clerical error pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 36, and granting his motion for sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006). Hunt contends that two prior convictions were invalid, and thus their inclusion in the calculation of his criminal history category at the time of his original sentencing proceeding was erroneous. However, this belated challenge to his criminal history category cannot be remedied by way of a Rule 36 motion or a § 3582 motion. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's orders. See United States v. Hunt, Nos. 3:02-cr-00199-FDW-1; 3:06-cv-00471-FDW (W.D.N.C. June 1 Aug. 27, 2009). 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.
