Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

CHARLES JEROME BAKER,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

(1:96-CV-82)

March 23, 1998

Before JOHNSON, JONES and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: *

Federal Prisoner Charles Jerome Baker ap peals the district

court’s denial of his motion to vacate filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 2255. Specifically, Baker argues that the evidence produced at

trial was insufficient to support his conviction and that the trial

court’s jury instructions were inadequate.

B aker first argues that the evidence presented at trial was

insufficient to support his conviction for carrying a firearm in

violation of 42 U.S.C. § 924(c). This Court examined Baker’s2

evidentiary complaints and concluded sufficient evidentiary support

existed to support his conviction. S ee United States v. Baker

, No.

92-4845 (5th Cir. May 31, 1993). However, because the Supreme

Court examined the standards for evidentiary sufficiency under §

924(c) in Bailey v. United States

, 116 S.Ct. 501 (1995), Baker

claims that this Court must reconsider its holding.

Tho ugh B ailey did interpret portions of § 924(c), the

“carrying” prong of the statute, the prong under which Baker was

convicted, was not affected in factual settings where the gun in

question is possessed in a motor vehicle. U nited States v.

Muscarello , 106 F.3d 636, 638 (5th Cir. 1997). Because Baker was

indicted and convicted under the “carrying” prong of § 924(c)(1)

for possessing a gun in a motor vehicle, there is n o need to

revisit the previous determination of evidentiary sufficiency.

Accordingly, the Court need not entertain this issue, for “issues

raised and disposed of in a previous appeal from an original

judgment of convi ction are not considered in § 2255 motions.”

United States v. Kalish , 780 F.2d 506, 508 (5th Cir. 1986).

Next, Baker contends that the trial court’s jury instructions

were in adequate in light of B ailey

. Because this issue was not

raised in the district court, the Court’s review will be for plain

error only. H ighlands Ins. Co. v. National Union Fire Ins. Co.

, 27

F.3d 1027, 1031-32 (5th Cir. 1994). After a careful review of the

record, the arguments, and the controlling authorities, the Court1 Under Federal Criminal Rule of Procedure 52(b), th is Court

may correct forfeited errors only when an appellant shows that

there is an error, the error is clear or obvious, and the error

affects his substantial rights. United States v. Calverly

, 37 F.3d

160, 162-64 (5th Cir. 1994)(en banc), cert

. denied , 513 U.S. 1196

(1995). Even if these factors are established, the Court may

decline to exercise its discretion and correct the error unless the

error “se riously affects the fairness, integrity, or public

r eputation of judicial proceedings.” U nited States v. McD owell

, 109 F.3d 214, 216 (5th Cir. 1997).

3 holds that no reversible error was committed. 1

Ther efore, for the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the

district court is AFFIRMED.
