    Scribd Government Docs
    Donald Devan Edwards appealed the district court's denial of his motion for reconsideration of his criminal judgment. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reviewed Edwards' motion and found that he improperly invoked the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in an attempt to collaterally attack his criminal judgment. As a result, the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of Edwards' motion for reconsideration without requiring oral arguments, as the relevant facts and legal issues were adequately represented in the court documents.

    PER CURIAM:
    Donald

    Devan

    Edwards

    appeals

    the

    district

    courts

    order

    denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record


    and the district courts opinion and find no reversible error, as
    Edwards improperly invoked the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to
    collaterally attack a criminal judgment. Accordingly, we affirm the
    district courts denial of Edwards motion for reconsideration. 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
