KELLY, Circuit Judge.
Fred Miles Thompson pleaded guilty, pursuant to a written plea agreement, to conspiracy to possess with intent to dis tribute methamphetamine and use of a firearm in connection with a drug trafficking crime. The district court 1 sentenced Thompson to a term of 480 months’ imprisonment on the drug offense, followed by a consecutive life sentence on the firearm offense. On direct appeal, we affirmed. Thompson then filed a motion to vacate his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The district court 2 denied the motion, but granted a certificate of appealability.
