1Opinion of the Court
JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:
Stanley Gaudet appeals the denial of his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 for vacatur of his conviction and sentence. He argues that the court that convicted and sentenced him lacked jurisdiction to- do so because he had not waived his right to be prosecuted by indictment.
