PER CURIAM:
Herman Felton, Jr., petitions this court for a writ of error coram nobis pursuant to
the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), contesting the validity of his conviction for
possession of a stolen firearm. A writ of error coram nobis is an extraordinary remedy
available only when the petitioner demonstrates a fundamental error for which a more usual
remedy is not available and that he had valid reasons for not attacking the conviction
earlier. United States v. Lesane, 40 F.4th 191, 197 (4th Cir. 2022). We conclude that
Felton fails to establish he is entitled to a writ of error coram nobis. Accordingly, we deny
his 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.
PETITION DENIED
