OPINION OF THE COURT
JORDAN, Circuit Judge.
Edward Ross appeals from the denial of his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct his criminal sentence. He asserts that his trial and appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance to him when they failed both to challenge a deficient jury instruction and to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence on one of his counts of conviction. Because we conclude that he has not satisfied a threshold requirement of section 2255, we will remand the case to the District Court with directions to dismiss the motion.
