PER CURIAM:
Aroz Kenyon Bridges appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion as untimely.

We

have reviewed the parties’ briefs and the record and conclude
that the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider what is
Bridges’

second

§ 2255

motion

absent

prefiling

authorization

from this court.

United States v. Winestock, 340 F.3d 200, 205

(4th Cir. 2003).

Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the

motion on that ground.
516,

519

(4th

Cir.

See United States v. Smith, 395 F.3d

2005).

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
