Heading: Motion for Evidentiary Hearing

Text: 21 Mr. Johnson also appeals from the district court's denial of his motion for an evidentiary hearing. Section 2255 requires the district court to conduct a hearing, [u]nless the motion and the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief. 28 U.S.C. § 2255. We review the district court's denial of an evidentiary hearing for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Barboa, 777 F.2d 1420, 1422 n. 2 (10th Cir.1985). In light of our decision in this case and based on a careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it declined to grant an evidentiary hearing in this matter.
