UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 20-6931

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

COLLINS KUSI SAKYI, a/k/a CK, a/k/a Kwame Kusi, a/k/a Quan,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at 

Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:06-cr-00405-LMB-1)

Submitted: July 7, 2021 Decided: July 19, 2021

Before MOTZ, KING, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Collins Kusi Sakyi, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Collins Kusi Sakyi appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a 

sentence reduction pursuant to § 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 

132 Stat. 5194, 5222. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did 

not abuse its discretion in denying Sakyi’s motion. See United States v. Collington, 995

F.3d 347, 357-58 (4th Cir. 2021); United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 495-96 (4th Cir. 

2020) (observing that “the decision whether to grant a reduction is entrusted to the district 

court’s discretion”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v.

Sakyi, No. 1:06-cr-00405-LMB-1 (E.D. Va. May 6, 2020). 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.

AFFIRMED
#### § 50-201.1 The Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act.

The Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 35-45), hereinafter referred to as the Act, was enacted “to provide conditions for the purchase of supplies and the making of contracts by the United States.” It is not an act of general applicability to industry. The Supreme Court has described it as an instruction by the Government to its agents who were selected and granted final authority to fix the terms and conditions under which the Government will permit goods to be sold to it. Its purpose, according to the Supreme Court “was to impose obligations upon those favored with Government business and to obviate the possibility that any part of our tremendous national expenditures would go to forces tending to depress wages and purchasing power and offending fair social standards of employment.” (“Perkins v. Lukens Steel Co.,” 310 U.S. 113, 128 (1940); “Endicott Johnson Corp. v. Perkins,” 317 U.S. 501 (1943).) To this end, the Act requires those who enter into contracts to perform Government work subject to its terms to adhere to specifically prescribed representations and stipulations as set forth in 41 CFR 50-201.1 pertaining to qualifications of contractors, minimum wages, overtime pay, safe and sanitary working conditions of workers employed on the contract, the use of child labor or convict labor on the contract work, and the enforcement of such provisions. Except as otherwise specifically provided, these representations and stipulations are required to be included in every contract “for the manufacture or furnishing of materials, supplies, articles, and equipment in any amount exceeding $10,000” which is made and entered into by an agency of the United States or other entity as designated in section 1 of the Act, hereinafter referred to as “contracting agency.” Contractors performing work subject to the Act thus “enter into competition to obtain Government business on terms of which they are fairly forwarned by inclusion in the contract.” (“Endicott Johnson Corp. v. Perkins, supra,” 317 U.S. at 507.) The Act also provides for enforcement of the required representations and stipulations by various methods. Certain exemptions from the application of the Act are provided in section 9 of the statute. Other exemptions, variations, and tolerances may be provided under section 6 of the statute by the Secretary of Labor or the President.

#### § 304-5.2 Who must approve acceptance of payment from a non-Federal source for travel expenses to a meeting?

An official at the highest practical administrative level who can evaluate the requirements in § 304-5.3, must approve acceptance of such payments.
§ 302-11.404 What controls must we establish for paying allowances for expenses incurred in connection with residence transactions? When paying allowances for expenses incurred in connection with residence transactions, you must: ( a ) Determine who will authorize and approve residence transactions expenses on the employee's travel authorization;
( b ) Determine who will review applications for reimbursement of residence transaction expenses;
( c ) Determine who will authorize extensions beyond the 1-year limitation for completing sales and purchase or lease termination transactions, under §§ 302-11.420 and 302-11.421;
( d ) Prescribe a claim application form which meets your internal administrative requirements;
( e ) Require employees to submit a travel claim with appropriate documentation to support the payment of the expenses claimed, which must include as a minimum; ( 1 ) The sales agreement,
( 2 ) The purchase agreement,
( 3 ) Property settlement documents,
( 4 ) Loan closing statements, and
( 5 ) Invoices or receipts for other bills paid; and
( f ) Require employees to submit travel claims to the employee's old official station for review and approval of the claim unless agency review and approval functions are performed elsewhere except as provided in § 302-11.405.

# SUMMARY:

 In accordance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 which provides opportunity for public comment on new or revised data collections, the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) will publish periodic summaries of proposed data collections.

*Comments are invited on:*                        (a) Whether the proposed information collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB's estimate of the burden of the collection of the information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden related to the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.                    

*Title and purpose of information collection:*                         Survivor Questionnaire; OMB 3220-0032.                    

                        Under Section 6 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), benefits that may be due on the death of a railroad employee                         *or*                         a survivor annuitant include (1) a lump-sum death benefit (2) a residual lump-sum payment (3) accrued annuities due but unpaid at death, and (4) monthly survivor insurance payments. The requirements for determining the entitlement of possible beneficiaries to these benefits are prescribed in 20 CFR 234.                    

When the RRB receives notification of the death of a railroad employee or survivor annuitant, an RRB field office utilizes Form RL-94-F, Survivor Questionnaire, to secure additional information from surviving relatives needed to determine if any further benefits are payable under the RRA. Completion is voluntary. One response is requested of each respondent.

                        The RRB proposes minor, non-burden impacting, formatting and editorial changes to Form RL-94-F. The completion time for the RL-94-F is estimated at between 5 to 11 minutes.                         Start Printed Page 3747                        The RRB estimates that approximately 8,000 responses are received annually.                    

# ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR COMMENTS: 

To request more information or to obtain a copy of the information collection justification, forms, and/or supporting material, please call the RRB Clearance Officer at (312) 751-3363. Comments regarding the information collection should be addressed to Ronald J. Hodapp, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.

Chuck Mierzwa, 

Clearance Officer.

PER CURIAM:

Ricky Lee Vance appeals the district court’s order denying his

motions for production of documents and his motion for the district

judge to recuse himself. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See United States

v. Vance, No. CR-94-22 (W.D. Va. June 19, 2000). 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.
