1Opinion of the Court
TERRY, Senior Judge:
These two consolidated appeals are taken from the trial court’s denial of appellant’s two motions to vacate his sentence pursuant to D.C.Code § 23-110 (2001). In those motions appellant contended that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at his trial and that the government violated his rights under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963). We hold that his claims lack merit and affirm the denial of both motions.
