1Opinion of the Court
E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge:
Santiago Casiano, Jr. is a federal prisoner who was convicted in 1979 of conspiracy and of marijuana possession with intent to distribute. He now appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, arguing that he has been placed in double jeopardy and that his trial counsel labored under a conflict of interest.
