HAMILTON, Circuit Judge,
concurring in the judgment:
I concur in the judgment of the court. I write further only to note that Vial has not requested relief by way of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, or by way of an extraordinary writ under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651. Because Vial has not pursued all avenues of relief, and been denied such relief, the issue of whether the “gate-keeping” provisions of the AEDPA, as ap*1199plied to Vial, violate his rights under the Due Process Clause is not properly before us.
Judge MOTZ joins in this opinion concurring in the judgment of the court.
