JOE HAVEN BEADLES,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:02-CV-546
--------------------
Before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Joe Haven Beadles, formerly federal prisoner # 04049-078,
appeals the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of
error coram nobis challenging his convictions for conspiracy to
commit mail and wire fraud and for money laundering. Beadles
argues that the indictment was constructively amended, that the
indictment was insufficient, and that the evidence was
insufficient to support his convictions.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 03-41393
-2-
Because Beadles is raising his arguments that the indictment
was constructively amended and that it was insufficient for the
first time on appeal, we do not address them, except to note that
his assertion that the indictment was insufficient was previously
rejected in this court’s decision affirming the district court’s
denial of relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. See Leverette v.
Louisville Ladder Co., 183 F.3d 339, 342 (5th Cir. 1999); United
States v. Beadles, No. 99-40044 (Dec. 22, 1999) (unpublished).
To the extent that Beadles challenges the sufficiency of the
evidence to support his convictions, his conclusory arguments,
which are not supported by any record evidence, do not establish
the exceptional circumstances warranting coram nobis relief. See
Jiminez v. Trominski, 91 F.3d 767, 768 (5th Cir. 1996).
Additionally, this issue also was decided against Beadles in the
decision affirming the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion.
See Beadles, No. 99-40044, slip op. at 2.
AFFIRMED.
