    Opinion filed Oct. 13, 2010.
    Ossie R. Trader, Atlanta, GA, pro se.
    Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, SCIRICA and WEIS, Circuit Judges.
   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Ossie Trader is a federal prisoner serving a 248-month sentence for armed bank robbery and related crimes. He has filed more than a dozen collateral attacks on his conviction and sentence, most of them by way of unauthorized motions to vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. As is the case in so many of his filings, it is apparent here that Trader is reasserting his claim that the District Court was without authority to deny his motion to dismiss the indictment, based on alleged Speedy Trial Act violations, following entry of Trader’s guilty plea in June 1995. Trader asks this Court to issue a writ of mandamus to “restore” his motion to dismiss, so that he may go back in time and thwart his prosecution, guilty plea notwithstanding.

This is, at the very least, the sixth time that Trader has sought mandamus relief to circumvent AEDPA’s gate-keeping requirements for successive § 2255 motions. We have repeatedly explained to Trader that he cannot use the writ of mandamus to challenge his guilty plea, and that there was nothing improper about the administrative termination of his motion to dismiss once the plea was entered. See In re Trader, 352 Fed.Appx. 675 (3d Cir.2009); In re Trader, 322 Fed.Appx. 203 (3d Cir.2009); In re Trader, 285 Fed.Appx. 973 (3d Cir.2008); In re Trader, 226 Fed.Appx. 100 (3d Cir.2007); In re Trader, 161 Fed.Appx. 205 (3d Cir.2006). Accordingly, for the reasons given in those prior opinions, we will deny Trader’s latest mandamus petition.
