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
