PER CURIAM:

Marquis Anthony Nelson appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion for an evidentiary hearing. We have reviewed 

the record and find no reversible error. However, we affirm as

modified to reflect that Nelson’s motion is dismissed without 

prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. See United States v. Modanlo, 

762 F.3d 403, 408 (4th Cir. 2014) (holding that “district court 

does not regain jurisdiction until the issuance of the mandate by 

the clerk of the court of appeals” (internal quotation marks 

omitted)). 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 AS MODIFIED
