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

516,   519   (4th     Cir.   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
