PER CURIAM:
Shapat Ahdawan Nabaya was convicted of retaliating against a federal officer by
false claim and making a false statement in bankruptcy, and the district court sentenced
him to 71 months’ imprisonment. In March 2019, we affirmed Nabaya’s criminal
judgment on direct appeal. United States v. Nabaya, 765 F. App’x 895 (4th Cir. 2019)
(No. 18-4134). In October 2021, we dismissed Nabaya’s appeal from the district court’s
July 15, 2021, order denying various motions in his ongoing 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceeding.
United States v. Nabaya, No. 21-7158, 2021 WL 5492978 (4th Cir. Nov. 23, 2021)
(unpublished). Nabaya has now filed another notice of appeal, which has been construed
as an appeal from either the criminal judgment or the July 2021 order. Because we
previously affirmed the criminal judgment and dismissed the appeal from the July 15, 2021,
order, we dismiss this appeal as 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
