PER CURIAM:
Darius J. Williams has filed a petition and a supplemental petition for an
extraordinary writ pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a). Williams requests
in these petitions that this court vacate his conviction for possession of a firearm by a
convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The All Writs Act, however, does
not provide a colorable vehicle for Williams’ claim. See Carlisle v. United States, 517 U.S.
416, 429 (1996). Accordingly, we deny Williams’ motion to appoint counsel, his petition,
and his supplemental petition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITIONS DENIED
