UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

TERRANCE LAMONT MOORE,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Greenville. Malcolm J. Howard, Senior District Judge. (4:98-cr-00013-H-1)

Submitted: November 19, 2009 Decided: December 4, 2009

Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Terrance Lamont Moore, Appellant Pro Se. John Samuel Bowler, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Terrance Lamont Moore appeals from the district

court’s order denying his petition for a writ of error coram

nobis. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. A writ of error coram nobis pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1651

(2000) can be used to vacate a conviction when there is a

fundamental error resulting in conviction and no other means of

relief is available. United States v. Morgan,

346 U.S. 502, 509-11

(1954); United States v. Mandel,

862 F.2d 1067, 1074-75

(4th Cir. 1988). Moore fails to establish the grounds needed to

obtain relief under the writ. Accordingly, we affirm. We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
