Opinion

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

After a hearing, the district court ordered that Enoc Alcantara-Mendez be committed to the custody of the Attorney General pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4246 (2006). Counsel for Alcantara-Mendez filed a timely notice of appeal of the district court’s order. Prior to that notice of appeal, however, Alcantara-Mendez filed a separate pro se notice of appeal. As Alcantara-Mendez in that appeal challenged both the district court’s order denying reconsideration and the order committing him to the custody of the Attorney General, this court previously considered Alcantara-Mendez’s arguments regarding both of those orders. We, therefore, have already affirmed the district court’s order committing Alcantara-Mendez to the custody of the Attorney General. See United States v. Alcantara-Mendez, 486 Fed.Appx. 359 (4th Cir.2012) (unpublished). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as duplicative. * 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 in the decisional process.

DISMISSED.

* We note that counsel for Alcantara-Mendez raises additional arguments to those raised in the prior appeal. Even if we considered these additional arguments to be properly before us we conclude that these arguments lack merit.
