Before THORNBERRY, GEE and FAY, Circuit Judges.
Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of New York et al., 5 Cir., 1970, 431 F.2d 409. Part I.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Appellant, sentenced on October 28,1977, filed his Rule 35 motion for reduction of sentence on March 7, 1978 — 130 days after sentence was imposed. That rule permits a sentencing judge to reconsider a sentence "within 120 days after the sentence is imposed . . ." Whatever latitude may exist for consideration by the judge after this period of motions filed within it, the judge is without jurisdiction to consider motions not filed within it. United States v. Flores, 507 F.2d 229 (5th Cir. 1975).
Appellant's motion was for this reason correctly denied.
AFFIRMED.
