UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 18-6939

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

TIMOTHY L. MASSEY,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Max O. Cogburn, Jr., District Judge. (3:13-cr-00224-MOC-1; 3:16-cv- 00244-MOC)

Submitted: December 20, 2018 Decided: December 27, 2018

Before DIAZ and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Timothy L. Massey, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Timothy L. Massey appeals the district court’s order construing his Fed. R. Civ. P.

60(b) motion as an unauthorized successive

(2012) motion and

dismissing for lack of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we deny as unnecessary a certificate of appealability (“COA”) and

affirm. See United States v. McRae,

(4th Cir. 2015) (“[W]e need not

issue a COA before determining whether the district court erred in dismissing [a]

purported Rule 60(b) motion as an unauthorized successive habeas petition.”). 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
