# CENTCOM’s Inaugural Conference Successfully Builds Middle East Intelligence Relationships, Promoting Intelligence Professionalization and Interoperability

/ Published May 13, 2019

**Tampa, Fla.** – United States Central Command recently hosted a Middle East Directors of Military Intelligence Conference that brought together senior leaders from more than a dozen nations to forge alliances and develop and sustain partnerships.                Tampa, Fla. – Grand Mufti of the Jordanian Armed Forces, MG Dr. Majid Darawsheh, addresses attendees at the U.S. Central Command hosted Middle East Directors of Military Intelligence Conference, April 2, 2019. The inaugural conference brought together Directors of Military Intelligence from the Middle East and North Africa and subject matter experts from America’s intelligence and academic community to discuss professionalization and interoperability of military intelligence, and lay the ground work for increased regional intelligence cooperation.

The conference, held Mar. 31-Apr. 3, “demonstrated USCENTCOM’s commitment to our partners in the Middle East, focusing on strengthening our mutual goals and interests in a constructive manner rather than merely reacting to regional conflicts," said CENTCOM’s International Programs Branch Chief, U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Jane Stokes.

Participants addressed challenges with media communications, ethics, and professional development, she said. Additionally, discussions covered partnership development, analytical biases and how to overcome intelligence challenges and factors that lead to regional destabilization.

More than 150 representatives from 11 Middle East partner nations, three North Africa countries and the United States attended the inaugural event.

"We all face a similar challenge, to find a way to strengthen our strategic partnerships,” said Anthony Cordesman, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic & International Studies. “When people set broad, general goals that are supposed to apply to everyone—that does more harm than good. Alliances are forged out of practical, working relationships.”

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 09-4139

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

DAVID BRUCE JENKINS, a/k/a lquid_dragon,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western 

District of North Carolina, at Asheville. Lacy H. Thornburg, 

District Judge. (1:08-cr-00017-LHT-1)

Submitted: February 26, 2010 Decided: March 16, 2010

Before NIEMEYER, SHEDD, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed in part; affirmed in part by unpublished per curiam 

opinion.

Lee Ann Anderson McCall, Washington, D.C., for Appellant. 

Edward R. Ryan, Acting United States Attorney, Adam Morris, 

Assistant United States Attorney, Charlotte, North Carolina, for 

Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

David Bruce Jenkins pled guilty to coercion and 

enticement regarding his attempts to have sexual contact with a 

minor in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) (2006). In his guilty 

plea, Jenkins waived his right to appeal except for claims of 

ineffective assistance of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct, or 

the reasonableness of any upward variance from the Sentencing 

Guidelines range. (JA 10). Jenkins was sentenced to 262 months 

of imprisonment. On appeal, Jenkins raises the following 

issues: (1) whether the Government breached his plea agreement 

by advocating for an eight-level sentence enhancement, under 

U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“USSG”) § 2G1.3(b)(5) (2008); 

(2) whether trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object 

to the eight-level enhancement; and (3) whether the eight-level 

enhancement was erroneous because the victim was not actually 

under the age of twelve, as the person involved was actually a 

police officer pretending to be an eleven-year-old girl. For 

the reasons that follow, we dismiss in part and affirm in part.

First, we find no breach of the plea agreement. 

United States v. McQueen, 108 F.3d 64, 65-66 (4th Cir. 1997)

(providing plain error review standard). Thus, as argued by the 

Government, Jenkins has waived his right to challenge his eightlevel sentencing enhancement. We therefore dismiss the appeal 

of Jenkins’ third issue. We find Jenkins’ remaining issue —
3

ineffective assistance of counsel — not cognizable in this 

appeal. United States v. James, 337 F.3d 387, 391 (4th Cir. 

2003) (providing standard). Rather, this claim should be 

brought, if at all, in a subsequent 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 

Supp. 2009) motion. United States v. Gastiaburo, 16 F.3d 582, 

590 (4th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, we deny relief on Jenkins’ 

second issue and affirm his sentence. 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.

DISMISSED IN PART;

AFFIRMED IN PART
UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 03-6873

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus ROBERT LAWRENCE PAYNE, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. James C. Turk, Senior District Judge. (CR-90-20-R; CA-96-920-7) Submitted: June 10, 2004 Decided: June 16, 2004 Before WILLIAMS and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Robert L. Payne, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Jack Bondurant, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).- 2 - PER CURIAM: Robert L. Payne seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion to reconsider filed under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1) (2000). A certificate of appealability will not issue absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2000). A prisoner satisfies this standard by demonstrating that reasonable jurists would find that his constitutional claims are debatable and that any dispositive procedural rulings by the district court are also debatable or wrong. SeeMiller-El v. Cockrell , 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003); Slack v. McDaniel , 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); Rose v. Lee , 252 F.3d 676, 683 (4th Cir. 2001). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Payne has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and di smiss the appeal. 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.

I absolutely and vigorously object to the mandate issued by Kathleen Sebelius which calls for the

funding of contraceptive methods for virtually all health plans and insurance coverage.

You have no right to force me to violate my conscience especially when the issue is pregnancy,

which is certainly not a disease to be prevented. Contraception is in any way a “preventive health

service.”

You overstep your bounds. I insist that this callous, immoral, unconscionable action be rescinded

immediately.

I join with the American Association of University Women (AAUW) in asking you to

accept the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine as pertain to coverage of

preventive care under the new health care law, and to reject any exemptions for

"religious employers." These preventive services are a critical element of the new

law and would provide countless women better access to necessary health care.

40% of the world's births are unplanned. Imagine the stress this puts on our natural

resources. Give women the choice.

While AAUW believes that "religious refusal" exemptions unjustly deny women

access to contraceptive services, others, driven by an ideological distaste for all

contraceptive services, are pushing the government to make exemptions even larger.

Indeed, some groups are pushing for the exemption to apply to religiously-run

health providers, so hospitals with religious affiliations would be exempt from the

coverage requirement, even though they employ people of all faiths and ideologies.

If granted, this larger exemption would deny access to thousands of women just

because of where they work.

I urge you to ensure women have access to quality preventive care by accepting

IOM's recommendations and rejecting the proposed religious refusal exemption

provisions.

Dear Secretary Kerry, Secretary Pritzker, and Secretary Foxx, 

I'm writing to you today to bring your attention to an important step we can take to level the 

playing field for American businesses and maintain the environment of fair market competition in 

aviation established by Open Skies policy that has been crucial for America's success. 

As president of the Newark Regional Business Partnership (NRBP), I am acutely aware of the 

considerable benefits Open Skies policy has brought to our region and state, in addition to the U.S. 

economy as a whole. The competitive atmosphere created by Open Skies improved service, 

lowered fares and increased air travel and commerce throughout the country. 

Over the past decade, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Emirates Airline have received at least 

$42 billion in government subsidies, interest-free "loans," free land, and other unfair benefits in 

direct violation of U.S. Open Skies policy. I am reaching out to ask that the U.S. government open 

consultations with Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in order to address the massive, 

market-distorting subsidies that those nations provide their state-owned airlines. 

The tens of billions of dollars in subsidies are distorting the free market framework established by 

Open Skies and they will ultimately have a negative economic impact here in the United States if we

Page Two 

Open Skies 

allow them to continue. The uneven playing field created by these massive subsidies is forcing U.S. 

carriers like Delta, United and American Airlines out of an increasing number of international 

routes which, if allowed to continue, will lead the disappearance of thousands of American jobs. In 

fact, according to a white paper released by the Partnership for Open & Fair Skies, each route that is 

lost to Qatar, Etihad or Emirates will result in an average net loss of 821 good U.S. jobs. These are 

jobs that we can ill afford to lose and they should not be lost as a result of unfair competition from 

foreign carriers. 

I am not seeking to end the Open Skies agreements with Qatar and the UAE, nor am I raising 

concerns with regard to any of the more than one hundred other Open Skies agreements. I am 

simply requesting that the U.S. government open consultations with Qatar and the UAE, which are 

provided for within the Open Skies agreements themselves and hold off on the addition of new 

routes. 

Sincerely, 

~

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing today to ask in the strongest way possible that you rescind the unjust and coercive

mandate that all "contraceptives" and sterilization procedures be covered by private health insurance

with no co-pay to patients. If you do not reverse course I ask you to expand conscience protections for

any organizations that provide individual and group insurance and have moral or religious objections. I

strongly oppose the government forcing free insurance coverage on Americans especially for drugs and

devices that I oppose because some of these can cause an abortion (such as ella and Plan B).

I also ask you to reconsider your definition of religious employer and offer an authentic conscience

protection for any organization and business that has moral or religious objection to providing such

insurance to their employees. This legal mandate clearly violates the spirit of conscience laws which

prohibit government discrimination against those who object to various health services on moral or

religious grounds. The definition of "religious employer" in the regulation is so narrow as to only include

churches, but will still mean that a host of businesses and organizations that have conscience objections

will be required to choose between either violating their conscience or not being able to offer employees

health insurance.

Please protect the conscience rights of insurers, providers and people like me who object to being

forced by the federal government to offer or subsidize contraceptives and sterilization services, especially

when some of these drugs can take the life of early unborn children. No Americans should be forced by

the federal government to essentially subsidize services they object to. I again urge you in the strongest

way possible to reverse course and remove contraceptives and sterilizations from the list of mandatory

preventive services.

Sincerely,
