United States Second Circuit

Motion for order authorizing district court to consider a second or successive 28 U.S.C. section 2255 motion is denied as it is on an unsworn, conclusory letter of recantation from a witness who was one of petitioner's co-conspirators before he, the witness, decided to cooperate with the government and testify against the defendant at the trial six years ago.
