Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Terry Leon Allred appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation to construe Allred’s motion to vacate as an unauthorized,

second or successive motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012), and to dismiss it on that

basis. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Even assuming, as

Allred contends on appeal, that his motion should not have been construed as a § 2255

motion, he has not demonstrated his entitlement to an order vacating his life sentence and

resentencing him to time served. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s denial of

relief. United States v. Allred, Nos. 2:89-cr-00122-NCT-1; 1:17-cv-00215-NCT-JLW

(M.D.N.C. July 5, 2017). 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
