OPINION
HAMILTON, Circuit Judge:
The issue presented in this case is whether a United States Magistrate Judge, who has accepted a defendant’s guilty plea and imposed sentence in a misdemeanor case with the defendant’s consent, can later entertain a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion by the defendant to vacate, set aside, or correct the sentence, and enter an order dismissing the motion without further consent of the defendant.
