PER CURIAM:
Shone Edward Wilkes seeks to appeal two of the
district court’s December 22, 2009, text orders: (1) denying his
motion under Fed. R. Crim. P. 36 to correct “clerical error in
the written judgment” and (2) his “motion asserting his actual
innocence . . . contest[ing] his prior convictions which
factored into his sentence.” The district court denied the
first motion noting that “the Court finds no clerical error in
the written judgment.” We note that Rule 36 motions apply only
to clerical errors and are not the proper vehicle for
challenging the substance of the information in a presentence
report (“PSR”). Rather, any challenges to a PSR should be filed
within fourteen days of receiving the document. See Fed. R.
Crim. P. 32(f).
The district court denied relief in the second motion
noting the “late date” of the motion occurring “years after his
plea, sentencing, and appeal.” We note that, to the extent
Wilkes seeks to challenge his conviction and sentence, he must
first obtain authorization from this court to file a successive
28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2009) motion. See 28 U.S.C.A. §
2255(h). Accordingly, we affirm the court’s text orders. 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
