PER CURIAM:
David Amezquita-Franco seeks to appeal the district court’s August 2016 order
dismissing as successive and unauthorized his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. We
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Amezquita-Franco filed his notice of appeal
well beyond the 60-day appeal period, Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B), and the appeal itself is
duplicative of a prior appeal of the same order, United States v. Amezquita-Franco, 675
F. App’x 335 (4th Cir. 2017) (No. 16-7111) (denying certificate of appealability and
dismissing appeal). Therefore, we dismiss the appeal as untimely and duplicative. 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.
DISMISSED
