D. Puerto Rico

AFFIRMED.

Before Selya, Cyr and Boudin, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam.


Petitioner, James Wiley Nichols, appeals from the denial of his second petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to set aside, vacate or correct his sentence. For the reasons stated by the district court, we affirm its decision dismissing the petition as an abuse of the writ and amending petitioner's sentence to substitute the term of special parole imposed with a term of supervised release of identical length.

Affirmed.
