PER CURIAM:

       Isiah Land appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255

(2012) motion. We previously granted a certificate of appealability on whether the

district court erred in ruling that Land’s prior Virginia convictions for malicious

wounding and unlawful wounding were violent felonies under the force clause of 18

U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(i) (2012), and we placed this appeal in abeyance for United States

v. Jenkins, No. 16-4121, __ F. App’x __, 2018 WL 1225728 (4th Cir. Mar. 9, 2018)

(holding Virginia convictions for unlawful wounding and malicious wounding qualified

as violent felonies under § 924(e)(2)(B)(i)). In light of Jenkins, we have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See

United States v. Land, No. 2:01-cr-00197-RBS-1 (E.D. Va. Aug. 23, 2016). 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
