Text: 29 Several additional claims advanced by Singleton suffer from various forms of procedural default, and essentially represent attempts to recast arguments already rejected in connection with the ineffective assistance claim. 12 Singleton attempts, to no avail, see Lopez-Torres v. United States, 876 F.2d 4, 5 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 979, 110 S.Ct. 508, 107 L.Ed.2d 510 (1989), to revisit the defaulted claim relating to improper joinder for trial, though it was neither raised before the trial court nor on direct appeal. Furthermore, Singleton challenges his 360-month sentence as having been based on a sentencing guideline determination that he was responsible for possessing, with intent to distribute, 3,750 pounds of marijuana, whereas there was no evidence that he knew the weight, and no evidence that the bales lost at sea contained marijuana. Not only was a substantially similar argument rejected on direct appeal, see Doe, 921 F.2d at 347, but [i]ssues disposed of in a prior appeal will not be reviewed again by way of a 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 motion, Dirring v. United States, 370 F.2d 862, 864 (1st Cir.1967), cited in Barrett v. United States, 965 F.2d 1184, 1190 n. 11 (1st Cir.1992). Additionally, this argument does not appear in the section 2255 motion, but first emerged in Singleton's supplemental appellate brief. See Dziurgot v. Luther, 897 F.2d 1222, 1224 (1st Cir.1990) (holding claims not raised in section 2255 motion will not be reviewed on appeal). Finally, further review of Singleton's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, addressed and rejected on direct appeal, Doe, 921 F.2d at 346, is also foreclosed, Tracey v. United States, 739 F.2d 679, 682 (1st Cir.1984). 30 Affirmed.
