PER CURIAM:
Christopher Kelly appeals from the district court’s November 2019 order denying
relief on his authorized, successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. We dismiss the appeal for
lack of jurisdiction. Kelly 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 from the
same order, see United States v. Kelly, 806 F. App’x 224 (4th Cir. 2020) (No. 20-6011)
(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
