NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION To be cited only in accordance with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit Chicago, Illinois 60604 Submitted April 3, 2007 Decided May 7, 2007 Before Hon. RICHARD A. POSNER, Circuit Judge Hon. MICHAEL S. KANNE, Circuit Judge Hon. DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, No. 06-2991 v. EARNEST PARKER-BEY, Defendant-Appellant. ] Appeal from the United ] States District Court for ] the Eastern District of ] Wisconsin. ] ] No. 92 CR 178 ] ] Rudolph T. Randa, ] Chief Judge. ORDER After the petitioner s conviction for a federal drug offense was affirmed by this court in 1994, he filed a motion in the district court under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate his sentence on the ground that his conviction had violated the doublejeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment. The motion was denied and we affirmed the denial in an order entered on April 3, 1997. He later filed an untimely motion in the district court under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) to vacate his conviction; again he argued double jeopardy. The district judge quite rightly denied the motion as belated and in any event without merit, as the lack of merit of his doublejeopardy claim had been decided in the direct appeal from his conviction. The denial of the section 2255 motion is therefore AFFIRMED.
