PER CURIAM:

Roosevelt Cornell Sanders, a federal inmate, appeals 

three district court orders filed as a result of post-judgment 

motions in Sanders’ action filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006). 

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and 

affirm those orders denying his second and third motions filed 

under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on the 

reasoning of the district court. See Sanders v. O’Brien, No. 

7:09-cv-00026-gec-mfu (W.D. Va. Jan. 20, 2010; Feb. 10, 2010). 

Because Sanders does not need a certificate of appealability to 

appeal the denial of an order issued in a § 2241 proceeding, we 

dismiss the appeal from the district court’s order denying a 

certificate of appealability. 

Accordingly, we affirm in part and dismiss in part. 

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 IN PART; 

DISMISSED IN PART
