UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Angelo Marquis DRAPER, Defendant-Appellant.
Angelo Marquis Draper appeals the district court's order construing his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion as a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and dismissing it without prejudice as successive.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Draper, Nos. 2:12-cr-00090-RGD-DEM-2, 2:15-cv-00503-RGD (E.D. Va. July 14, 2020). 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
FOOTNOTES
FOOTNOTE. Draper also appealed the district court's dismissal of his motion to reconsider for lack of jurisdiction. However, he abandoned any claims relative to that order by failing to raise them in his informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal brief is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues preserved in that brief.”).
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
