Donald VAUGHN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Warden Denise A. GELSINGER; C.O. II Brandan Renner; C.O. II Anthony Hutzler; C.O. II R. Strawderman; Roxbury Correctional Institution; Wayne Hill; C.O. II Travis A. Williams, Defendants - Appellees.
Donald Vaughn seeks to appeal the district court's November 2019 order granting Defendants summary judgment in Vaughn's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. However, Vaughn previously appealed this order, and we dismissed that appeal. See Vaughn v. Gelsinger, 806 F. App'x 225 (4th Cir. 2020). Because we have previously dismissed an appeal of the appealed-from order, and since Vaughn's most recent notice of appeal was filed well beyond the 30-day appeal period, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (providing that, in civil cases in which the United States is a not party, parties are accorded 30 days after the entry of the district court's final judgment or order to note an appeal), we dismiss this appeal as duplicative and untimely. 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 in the decisional process.
DISMISSED
PER CURIAM:
