No. 13-30903
60(b) seeking to reduce his sentence based on Alleyne v. United States, 133 S.
Ct. 2151 (2013). The district court denied the motion, and Wanambisi appeals.
Under any construction given to it, Wanambisi’s motion was an
unauthorized motion that the district court was without jurisdiction to
consider. See In re Sepulvado, 707 F.3d 550, 556 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 134 S.
Ct. 420 (2013); United States v. Bridges, 116 F.3d 1110, 1112-13 (5th Cir. 1997);
United States v. Early, 27 F.3d 140, 142 (5th Cir. 1994). The judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED.
