UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Freddie JONES, Jr., Defendant-Appellant, 41 F. App'x 704

PER CURIAM. Freddie Jones, Jr., after unsuccessfully pursuing direct and collateral relief, now relies on 18 U.S.C. § 3742 (1994) to appeal his sentence and challenge the assistance of his counsel. Jones’ reliance on 18 U.S.C. § 3742 (1994) is misplaced; this statute provides a defendant may directly appeal his sentence, but it provides no mechanism through which he may reopen a direct appeal, or move successively for collateral review. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. 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.
