Opinion
Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Ronald G. Johnson petitions for a writ of error coram nobis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651 (2000). In his petitions, Johnson asserts that his convictions and sentence are unconstitutional, and seeks an order from this court vacating his convictions and sentence and for other relief. The relief sought by Johnson is not available under § 1651, but is properly pursued through a motion to vacate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).
We note that Johnson has previously filed a § 2255 motion in the district court, and must therefore obtain authorization to file a successive motion pursuant to § 2255 11 8 before a second or successive motion may be considered by the district court. Accordingly, we grant Johnson’s motions to strike filings from the record, deny Johnson’s motions for leave to proceed in forma pau-peris, deny Johnson’s motions for appointment of counsel, and deny the petitions.
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. PETITION DENIED.
