UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-7860
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
LLOYD GEORGE MAXWELL,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Albert V. Bryan, Jr., Senior
District Judge. (CR-93-262)
Submitted: January 26, 2006 Decided: February 3, 2006
Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Lloyd George Maxwell, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas More Hollenhorst,
Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Lloyd George Maxwell appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion under 18 U.S.C. § 1623 (2000) challenging his
conviction and sentence. Because Maxwell’s motion amounted to a
successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion for which Maxwell failed
to obtain authorization under 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (2000) to file, the
district court was without jurisdiction to grant Maxwell relief.
Accordingly, we affirm. 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
