PER CURIAM:
Jonathan Edwards appeals from the district’s order denying his
“Motion to Reopen,” in which he asserts that he should not have
been sentenced as an armed career criminal for his 1993 conviction
under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (2000). Edwards failed to raise this issue
in his direct criminal appeal. Moreover, the time for seeking post-
conviction relief has long since expired. 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).
Consequently, we affirm. 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.
AFFIRMED
