PER CURIAM:

Marc Pierre Hall, a federal prisoner, petitions this 

court for leave to file a writ of error coram nobis, 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1651(a) (2006). Hall challenges his federal convictions for 

conspiracy to distribute narcotics, possession of a firearm and 

a destructive device in relation to a drug trafficking crime, 

and damage to real property affecting commerce.

Coram nobis, however, is not a substitute for direct 

appeal, and the writ will not lie where there is another 

adequate remedy available. See United States v. Darnell, 716 

F.2d 479, 481 & n.5 (7th Cir. 1983); Azzone v. United States, 

341 F.2d 417, 419 (8th Cir. 1965). Hall’s motion for leave to 

file a writ of error coram nobis seeks to challenge his federal 

convictions. He has received a direct appeal and filed numerous 

habeas corpus challenges. Accordingly, we deny the petition for 

a writ of error coram nobis. We dispense with oral argument 

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented 

in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process. 

PETITION DENIED
