PER CURIAM:

Tony Taylor appeals the district court’s order denying 

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. Taylor’s 

conviction became final in 2008, and he filed his § 2255 motion 

in 2012. Under our recent decision in Whiteside v. United 

States, __ F.3d __, 2014 WL 7245453 (4th Cir. Dec. 19, 2014) (en 

banc), Taylor’s § 2255 motion was untimely. We accordingly 

affirm. 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
