    This document is an unpublished opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit regarding Raymond Beall's appeal of the denial of his motion for a sentence reduction. The three judge panel affirmed the district court's ruling, finding that Beall's challenges to his original sentence and claims of ineffective assistance of counsel were not cognizable under the statute allowing sentence reductions. Additionally, by not directly addressing the basis for the district court's decision, Beall waived further review. The panel dispensed with oral arguments, finding the issues were adequately addressed in the materials.
