PER CURIAM:

            Amado       Antonio   Cartagena       pled   guilty       without    a   plea

agreement    to    unlawful       reentry       into   the    United    States       by   a

deported    alien,       in   violation     of    8    U.S.C.    § 1326(a),       (b)(2)

(2006), and was sentenced to eighty months in prison.                         Cartagena

appealed, and on February 22, 2008, we affirmed his conviction

and sentence.       See United States v. Cartagena, 266 F. App’x 286

(4th Cir. Feb. 22, 2008) (No. 07-4530).                      Cartagena now seeks to

file a second appeal of his conviction and sentence.                            We have

previously affirmed this judgment, and we dismiss the appeal as

duplicative       and    untimely.        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

                                            2
