PER CURIAM: In February 2006, Henry Earl Miller filed in the
district court a letter challenging his conviction and 300-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to armed robbery, using and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence, and aiding and abetting in these offenses. The district court

has since filed numerous motions in the district court seeking to reinstate his ability to file a § 2255 motion.
