Heading: Douglas's Instant Sec. 2255 Motion

Text: 8 On November 14, 1991, Douglas brought another Sec. 2255 motion, this time before Judge Tsoucalis, a judge of the United States Court of International Trade sitting by designation in the Eastern District. Douglas raised nine grounds for vacating his conviction. The district court rejected all of the claims, finding some of them procedurally barred for failure to raise them in previous Sec. 2255 motions, and finding the others unreviewable because they had been raised in other motions and denied on the merits. Consequently, the district court also found that Douglas's motion constituted an abuse of process. Douglas subsequently moved for reconsideration, and filed an amended motion for relief; this relief was denied by Judge Korman on November 25, 1992, without an opinion. 9 Douglas, acting pro se, now appeals the denial of his Sec. 2255 motion.
