UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 13-7771 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. AROZ KENYON BRIDGES, a/k/a Ken, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:01-cr-00016-BO-2; 5:12-cv-00506-BO) Submitted: April 29, 2014 Decided: May 2, 2014 Before WILKINSON, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Thomas P. McNamara, Federal Public Defender, G. Alan DuBois, First Assistant Federal Public Defender, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellant. Thomas G. Walker, United States Attorney, Jennifer P. May-Parker, Shailika K. Shah, Assistant United States Attorneys, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Aroz Kenyon Bridges appeals the district court s order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion as untimely. We have reviewed the parties briefs and the record and conclude that the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider what is Bridges second § 2255 motion absent prefiling authorization from this court. United States v. Winestock, 340 F.3d 200, 205 (4th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the motion on that ground. 516, 519 (4th Cir. See United States v. Smith, 395 F.3d 2005). 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 2
