MEMORANDUM **
Edelmiro Tamez, Jr. appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate his conviction and sentence following his jury trial conviction for conspiracy to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We *791review de novo, see United States v. Burrows, 872 F.2d 915, 917 (9th Cir.1989); and we affirm.
Tamez contends that the district court erred by not granting him a new trial based on four items of allegedly newly discovered evidence. We conclude the district court did not err because the evidence regarding David Delfs and James Mac-Lean was not newly discovered, see United States v. Lockett, 919 F.2d 585, 591-92 (9th Cir.1990) (stating that “newly available” evidence is not “newly discovered”); United States v. McKinney, 952 F.2d 333, 336 (9th Cir.1991) (concluding that evidence known or discovered before the trial is over is not newly discovered evidence), and the evidence regarding Mrs. Mariani and Hal Turner was merely impeachment evidence. See United States v. Kulczyk, 931 F.2d 542, 548 (9th Cir.1991).
Tamez next contends that he was denied the right to effective assistance of counsel because his trial attorney failed to call MacLean as a witness. We reject this contention because the district court did not err when it concluded that Tamez suffered no prejudice from his counsel’s alleged deficiency. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984).1
