Background
Raymond Justis, a federal prisoner, filed a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging the execution of his sentence. The opinion does not describe the specific grounds for his challenge.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland denied relief. Justis, proceeding pro se, appealed that order to the Fourth Circuit.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court’s order. After reviewing the record, the panel found no reversible error.
The court issued an unpublished per curiam opinion and dispensed with oral argument, concluding that the submitted materials adequately presented the facts and legal contentions and that argument would not aid the decisional process.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth Circuit upheld the denial of Justis’s § 2241 petition challenging the execution of his federal sentence.
- The panel found no reversible error in the district court’s ruling.
- The unpublished opinion is not binding precedent in the Fourth Circuit.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the district court’s denial of habeas relief intact. Because the opinion provides no substantive discussion of Justis’s claims and is unpublished, its significance is principally limited to the disposition of this appeal rather than the announcement of a new rule governing § 2241 petitions.
