PER CURIAM:
Fernando Miguel Nunez, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order
construing his filing as a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition and denying it, as Nunez is incarcerated
in California.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Nunez v. United States, No.
5:21-hc-02075-D (E.D.N.C. filed Apr. 5 & entered Apr. 6, 2021). 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
* On appeal, Nunez asserts that his filing was a Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion seeking
to reopen his § 2255 motion on the basis of new evidence. However, even if the district
court erred in construing his filing (which it did not), Nunez’s Rule 60(b) motion would be
untimely. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(c)(1).
