Summary:       The defendant filed a motion for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, arguing that he was being improperly held in a special housing unit in prison, that he did not have access to legal resources, that an FBI agent falsely testified at trial, and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. The Court dismissed the motion, finding that it did not have jurisdiction over the first two claims and that the last two claims were not timely filed within the one-year limitation period.
