                 Before: BARRY, AMBRO and FISHER, Circuit Judges

                                 (Filed: April 30, 2007)



                                        OPINION


PER CURIAM

      Marcos Santiago appeals the District Court’s order denying his “Motion to order

government to disclose to defendant all Jencks material within their possession.” In April

2004, Santiago was convicted of robbery and firearm charges and sentenced to 402
months in prison. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal. Santiago filed a

“Motion to order government to disclose to defendant all Jencks material within their

possession.” The District Court denied both the motion and Santiago’s motion for

reconsideration. Santiago filed a timely notice of appeal, and we have jurisdiction

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

       Santiago argues that he needs copies of all statements made by a witness against

him at his criminal trial in order to bring a § 2255 motion. According to the electronic

docket for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Santiago filed a § 2255 motion on

January 19, 2007. A discovery motion filed in those proceedings is the appropriate

vehicle for obtaining such documents if they exist.

       Summary action is appropriate if there is no substantial question presented in the

appeal. See Third Circuit LAR 27.4. For the above reasons, we will summarily affirm

the District Court’s order. See Third Circuit I.O.P. 10.6.
