PER CURIAM:
Donald Vaughn seeks to appeal the district court’s November 2019 order granting
Defendants summary judgment in Vaughn’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. However, Vaughn
previously appealed this order, and we dismissed that appeal. See Vaughn v. Gelsinger,
806 F. App’x 225 (4th Cir. 2020) (No. 20-6019). Because we have previously dismissed
an appeal of the appealed-from order, and since Vaughn’s most recent notice of appeal was
filed well beyond the 30-day appeal period, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (providing that,
in civil cases in which the United States is a not party, parties are accorded 30 days after
the entry of the district court’s final judgment or order to note an appeal), we dismiss this
appeal as duplicative and untimely. 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 in the decisional process.
DISMISSED
