Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*



     Harry Schreiber appeals the denial of his motion filed pur-

suant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651.   He was convicted of wire fraud, bank-

ruptcy fraud, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bankruptcy


     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
                               No. 02-50213
                                    -2-

fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1343, and 152.              His motions

for a remand and for expedited consideration are DENIED.                  Because

he is appealing the denial of relief under § 1651, he does not re-

quire   a   certificate   of   appealability       (“COA”),   see    28    U.S.C.

§ 2253(c)(1), so his motion for a COA is DENIED as unnecessary.

      Schreiber   is   not   entitled   to   the    relief    he   seeks    under

§ 1651.     Jimenez v. Trominski, 91 F.3d 767, 767-68 & n.1 (5th Cir.

1996); Theriault v. Mississippi, 390 F.2d 657, 657 (5th Cir. 1968).

“The writ of coram nobis is an extraordinary remedy available to a

petitioner no longer in custody who seeks to vacate a criminal con-

viction in circumstances where the petitioner can demonstrate civil

disabilities as a consequence of the conviction, and that the chal-

lenged error is of sufficient magnitude to justify the extraordi-

nary relief.”      Jimenez, 91 F.3d at 768.           “The writ of audita

querela . . . permits a petitioner to obtain relief against a

judgment based on some legal defense arising after the judgment.”

Id.   Schreiber, however, remains in federal custody and is not re-

lying on a legal defense that arose after the judgment.               Id.

      The appeal is without merit and is DISMISSED as frivolous.

See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR.

R. 42.2.

      APPEAL DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS; MOTION FOR COA DENIED AS

UNNECESSARY; OTHER MOTIONS DENIED.
