PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, George Wilson III seeks to appeal the district court's order construing his motion as one filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) and denying relief because he did not have authorization from this court under 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (2000). He also appeals two margin orders denying his motions for Wilson was clearly attacking his sentence and

reconsideration.

because he had previously filed a § 2255 motion, the district court correctly found it was without authority to consider these filings unless Wilson had authorization from this court.* See § 2244.

In addition, Wilson appeals the district court's orders denying his request for records and files and denying two motions for reconsideration. Because there was no reason to grant the

relief sought, we affirm. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's orders. We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

To the extent Wilson may be seeking authorization from this court to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion, we deny the request. - 3 -
