1Opinion of the Court

LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Chief Judge.

Mohammed Y. Butt appeals the denial of his pro se motion, under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, to vacate the sentence imposed after he entered a guilty plea. The motion challenged the competency of his retained counsel and alleged a violation of the plea bargain. The government answered, inter alia, that petitioner’s prior post-conviction motions to reduce sentence, under Fed.R. Crim.P. 35, stated identical grounds and had been denied. 1 Without holding an evi- dentiary hearing, the district court entered a summary denial of Butt’s § 2255 motion, We affirm.
