    Geoffrey Horn filed a petition for a writ of coram nobis to challenge his conviction and sentence. A writ of coram nobis can be granted to vacate a conviction if a fundamental error occurred and no other remedy is available. However, the court denied Horn's petition because he failed to establish that a fundamental error occurred in his case or that no other remedies were available to challenge his conviction and sentence. The court dispensed with oral argument, finding the issues were adequately briefed.

    In re Geoffrey Lind HORN, Petitioner.
    No. 94-8051.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Dec. 13, 1994.
    Decided Jan. 19, 1995.

    Geoffrey Lind Horn, Petitioner Pro Se.


    Before WIDENER and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS,
    Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    Geoffrey L. Horn, a federal inmate, brought this petition for a writ of coram
    nobis in which he alleges that his conviction and sentence are unconstitutional
    for various reasons. Federal courts may grant a writ of coram nobis to vacate a
    conviction where a fundamental error occurred and no other remedy is
    available. United States v. Mandel, 862 F.2d 1067, 1075 (4th Cir.1988), cert.
    denied, 491 U.S. 906 (1989). Horn has failed to establish such a case.
    Accordingly, although we grant Horn leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we
    deny his petition for coram nobis. We dispense with ral argument because the
    facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
    court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
