1Opinion of the Court

ESCHBACH, Circuit Judge.

In 1991, Leonard Olmstead pleaded guilty to growing marijuana in a back-yard garden in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). On direct appeal, he challenged the sentencing court’s calculation of the number of marijuana plants involved. We affirmed in an unpublished opinion. See United States v. Olmstead, No. 92-1187,1992 WL 309846 (7th Cir. Oct. 27, 1992). Presently before us is Olmstead’s appeal of the district court’s denial of his petition to vacate, correct or set aside his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. For the reasons below, we affirm.
