Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Horace Oxendine appeals a district court’s margin order deny- ing his motion to correct illegal sentence. The record reflects that Oxendine has previously filed several motions pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) and that he has not obtained au- thorization from this Court to file a successive motion as required by 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000). Because Oxendine cannot circumvent this requirement by filing what is best construed as a habeas petition under another name, we affirm the district court’s order denying the motion.

AFFIRMED
