 Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 107 F.3d 18 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted Feb. 5, 1997. *Decided Feb. 7, 1997

Before: CANBY, HAWKINS, and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Kanard J. Meloncon, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and motion for reconsideration challenging his conviction for aiding and abetting the armed robbery of a United States Postal carrier through the use of a dangerous weapon in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2114 and 2. Meloncon contends that: (1) his conviction and sentence were obtained in violation of the Double Jeopardy Clause and collateral estoppel principles and (2) his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to raise double jeopardy or collateral estoppel as a defense. We review de novo a district court's decision on a section 2255 motion. Sanchez v. United States, 50 F.3d 1448, 1451-52 (9th Cir. 1995). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, and we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order filed on October 17, 1995.

AFFIRMED.
