ORDER Terry L. Wooten Chief United States District Judge This matter comes before the Court for consideration of the pro se petition to vacate, set aside, or correct a sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 filed by Petitioner Irby Gene Dewitt. For the reasons stated below, the Court dismisses the petition.
I. Factual and Procedural History Petitioner pled guilty to Hobbs Act Robbery (Count 1) and possessing and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence (Count 2), and he was sentenced to a total sentence of 312 months, consisting of 240 months on Count 1 and 312 months on Count 2, with the terms to run concurrently. He did not file a direct appeal.
On October 1, 2007, Petitioner filed his first § 2255 petition.[1] After briefing, the Court dismissed the petition as untimely. ECF No. 151. He filed a direct appeal, which was dismissed by the Fourth Circuit. United States v. Dewitt, 399 F. App’x 810 (4th Cir. 2010).
On January 21, 2011, Petitioner filed a second § 2255 petition. ECF No. 178. After briefing, the Court also dismissed this petition as untimely. ECF No. 199. He filed a direct appeal, which was dismissed by the Fourth Circuit. United States v. Dewitt, 501 F. App’x 309 (4th Cir. 2012).
Petitioner has also filed several other motions attacking his sentence. ECF Nos. 207, 211, 221. These motions have all been denied. ECF Nos. 209, 213, 222.

He has not received permission from the Fourth Circuit under 28 U.S.C. § 2244 to file this second or successive petition. The Government filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that this § 2255 petition should be dismissed as second or successive, as untimely, and that he is not entitled to relief on the merits.
