   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

In 1993 Percy Dillon was convicted of various drug-related crimes and sentenced to 322 months’ imprisonment. After we affirmed, Dillon embarked on a lengthy series of unsuccessful post-conviction attacks on his sentence, including a motion pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582, a § 2255 motion, applications to file another § 2255 motion, a motion pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b), an “Independent Action Under Rule 60(b)(6),” and another § 2255 motion. We denied his various related requests for certificates of appealability.

In December 2006 Dillon filed, in the same criminal action, a document titled “Motion filed under LR 37.1, and LR 37.2 pursuant to Rule 37(c)(1) of Fed.R.Civ.P.” Although Dillon insists that his motion “does not affect the AEDPA and does not constitute a second or successive petition and cannot be construed as such,” his motion seeks the production of certain documents which form the basis for his allegations concerning “perjurious statements to the court dealing with a material element of impeachment value.” In particular, he alleges that the government’s failure to disclose voucher payments violates the Jenks Act, that the voucher forms “are proof that [witness] Williams perjured himself,” and that he should get a new trial as a result. The District Court summarily denied the motion; this appeal followed.

By seeking a new trial, Dillon is challenging his conviction. However, as we have previously explained, motions pursuant to § 2255 are the presumptive means by which federal prisoners can do so. Okereke v. United States, 307 F.3d 117 (3d Cir.2002). Because Dillon has previously filed § 2255 motions, he may not file another without first obtaining permission from this Court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 2244 & 2255. Nor may he avoid this process by resorting to Federal Rules of Procedure. The District Court had no choice but to deny Dillon’s motion and, as a result, the appeal does not present a substantial issue. Accordingly, we will summarily affirm the order of the District Court denying Dillon’s motion.
