PER CURIAM:

            Mark Allen Howell appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2012) motion as

untimely.       We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.                  See

United   States       v.    Howell,    No.   4:08-cr-00041-BO-1      (E.D.N.C.

Sept. 4, 2012); cf. Lo v. Endicott, 

, 575 (7th Cir.

2007); E.J.R.E. v. United States, 

, 1098 (8th Cir.

2006); Shannon v. Newland, 

, 1089 (9th 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
