PER CURIAM:

Johnny Lee Gore appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion for a new trial filed under Rule 33 of the 

Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, because the motion was 

untimely. We agree. Under Rule 33(b)(1), Gore had “3 years 

after the verdict or finding of guilty” to file his motion

claiming he had newly discovered evidence. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 

33(b)(1). The jury found Gore guilty on June 5, 2002. Because 

Gore did not file his Rule 33 motion until September 23, 2009,

the motion was not timely. Accordingly, we affirm the district 

court’s denial of relief. 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
