PER CURIAM:
Allah Burman appeals the district court’s order construing his petition for writ of
habeas corpus as a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and dismissing it without prejudice
for failure to obtain pre-filing authorization from this Court.∗ We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Burman’s pending motions and affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Burman, No. 1:01-cr-
00115-JKB-5 (D. Md. Oct. 20, 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
∗ We deny a certificate of appealability as unnecessary. See Harbison v. Bell, 556
U.S. 180, 183 (2009); Fontanez v. O’Brien, 807 F.3d 84, 86 (4th Cir. 2015); United States
v. McRae, 793 F.3d 392, 400 (4th Cir. 2015).
