PER CURIAM:
Wendell Antonio Johnson pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and
cocaine base and related offenses, and the district court sentenced him to 300 months’
imprisonment. On direct appeal, we affirmed in part and dismissed in part. United
States v. Johnson, 259 F. App’x 542, 543-45 (4th Cir. 2007) (No. 05-5176). In February
2017, Johnson filed a second notice of appeal of the same criminal judgment. Because
we previously affirmed this criminal judgment, we dismiss the appeal as duplicative, and
we deny his motion to place his appeal in abeyance pending a decision on his state court
motion. 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
