UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-1371
In Re: MARC PIERRE HALL,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Error Coram Nobis.
(3:95-cr-00005-FD)
Submitted: September 28, 2010 Decided: September 30, 2010
Before WILKINSON, SHEDD, and DAVIS, 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Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 writ of error coram nobis and requests leave to
correct the record and reinstate his direct appeal, under 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.
A petition for a writ of error 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. Denedo, 129 S. Ct. 2213, 2221 (2009). Hall’s petition
seeks to challenge his federal convictions, specifically his 18
U.S.C. § 844(i) (2006) conviction. He has received a direct
appeal and filed numerous habeas corpus challenges.
Accordingly, although we grant Hall leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, 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
