PER CURIAM:

            Raymond      Chestnut    appeals     from     the   district   court’s

order denying his motion for an extension of time to note his

appeal from the order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West Supp. 2013) motion.           Because Chestnut failed to file the

motion for an extension of the appeal period within the time

allowed    under    Fed.    R.   App.    P.    4(a)(5),     the   district   court

properly denied the motion.             Accordingly, we deny a certificate

of appealability and dismiss the appeal.                Chestnut’s motions for

a copy of the Federal Rules of Criminal and Civil Procedure, for

appointment of counsel, and for bail or release pending appeal

are denied.        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.

                                                                         DISMISSED

                                         2
