PER CURIAM:

              Michael Featherstun appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for an extension of time in which to file a

28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2008) motion.            Our review of the

record discloses no reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm.

We do so without prejudice to Featherstun’s right to file an

initial § 2255 motion and an opportunity to establish a basis

for equitable tolling.        We express no opinion, however, on his

ability to do so.        We dispense with oral argument because the

facts   and    legal   contentions   are   adequately   presented    in   the

materials     before   the   court   and   argument   would   not   aid   the

decisional process.

                                                                    AFFIRMED
