OPINION
2Per curiam
Appellant Jose Luis Buenrostro was tried and convicted on a charge of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. The offense involved more than thirty-one kilograms of methamphetamine. Because Buenrostro had two prior felony drug convictions, the court sentenced him to a mandatory minimum term of life imprisonment without release. 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 851(d)(1), 841(a)(1), (b)(l)(A)(viii) (1995). We affirmed Buenrostro’s conviction on direct appeal. He then moved the district court to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The district court denied that motion on its merits.
