United States Second Circuit
Vu v. US, 11-909
Defendant’s application for leave to file a successive 28 U.S.C. section 2255 motion challenging his murder-for-hire conviction is denied, where because a prior unsuccessful section 2255 motion was filed for the purpose of obtaining a direct appeal, and did not directly attack defendant's conviction or sentence, the instant section 2255 motion is not successive within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. section 2255(h).
