Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

                David Michael Woodward seeks to appeal the district

court’s     order       granting   leave     to   amend       his   successive       motion

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2009), or petition this

court     for    authorization     to    file     a   successive       §    2255    motion.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28

U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).                                The order

Woodward        seeks    to   appeal    is   neither      a    final       order    nor   an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order.                          Accordingly, we

deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal

for   lack      of   jurisdiction. *         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.

                                                                                  DISMISSED

      *
       Although we express no opinion on the merits of the order
Woodward seeks to appeal, we note that a resentencing under Fed.
R. Crim. P. 35(b) does not restart the clock on the one-year
limitations period for motions under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
(West Supp. 2009). United States v. Sanders, 247 F.3d 139, 144
(4th Cir. 2001).
