PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Ronnie D. Rainey challenges (1) the district court’s
order denying motions from nonparties to have their names removed from the amended
criminal judgment (Appeal No. 17-7365); and (2) the order denying Rainey’s motion for
clarification of the sentence (Appeal No. 17-7561). Rainey lacks standing to appeal the
district court’s denial of relief for nonparties, Smith v. Frye,
488 F.3d 263, 272 (4th Cir.
2007) (finding a litigant “cannot rest his claim to relief on the legal rights or interests of
third parties” (internal quotation marks omitted)), and we therefore dismiss the appeal as
to No. 17-7365. We affirm the district court’s denial of the motion for clarification, as
the district court did not err in declining to revisit the sentence imposed, see 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(b) (2012); United States v. Oliver,
878 F.3d 120, 125 (4th Cir. 2017) (“A criminal
conviction becomes final at the end of the appellate process . . . .”). We also deny
Rainey’s request for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to clarify the
sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
No. 17-7365, DISMISSED;
No. 17-7561, AFFIRMED
