UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-2005
In Re: MARC PIERRE HALL,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Error Coram Nobis.
(3:95-cr-00005-FDW-1)
Submitted: March 30, 2010 Decided: April 2, 2010
Before WILKINSON, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Marc Pierre Hall, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Marc Pierre Hall, a federal prisoner, petitions this
court for leave to file a writ of error coram nobis, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1651(a) (2006). Hall challenges his federal convictions for
conspiracy to distribute narcotics, possession of a firearm and
a destructive device in relation to a drug trafficking crime,
and damage to real property affecting commerce.
Coram nobis, however, is not a substitute for direct
appeal, and the writ will not lie where there is another
adequate remedy available. See United States v. Darnell, 716
F.2d 479, 481 & n.5 (7th Cir. 1983); Azzone v. United States,
341 F.2d 417, 419 (8th Cir. 1965). Hall’s motion for leave to
file a writ of error coram nobis seeks to challenge his federal
convictions. He has received a direct appeal and filed numerous
habeas corpus challenges. Accordingly, we deny the petition for
a writ of error coram nobis. 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
