PER CURIAM:
Brooks James Terrell appeals the district court’s order construing his Fed. R. Civ.
P. 60(b) motion as an unauthorized successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion and
dismissing it for lack of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United
States v. Terrell, No. 7:99-cr-00610-HMH-1 (D.S.C. filed Sept. 28, 2018; entered Oct. 1,
2018). We deny the pending motion without prejudice to any right Terrell may have to
seek retroactive application of the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-220, 124
Stat. 2372, in the sentencing court under Section 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub.
L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. We deny a certificate of appealability as unnecessary.
See United States v. McRae, 793 F.3d 392, 400 (4th Cir. 2015). 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
