ORDER

JAMES C. FOX, Senior District Judge.

This matter is before the court on Stephon Bullock's Motion for Reduction of Sentence Pursuant to United States v. Simmons [DE-119] and Motion for Reduction of Sentence [DE-121]. In both motions, Bullock is seeking a reduction in his sentence pursuant to United States v. Simmons, 649 F.3d 237 (4th Cir. 2011).

Bullock is attacking the validity of his sentence, and the appropriate avenue to bring this challenge is by way of a § 2255 motion1. To the extent that Bullock seeks to file a § 2255 motion, he must file it on the appropriate form. The Clerk of Court hereby is DIRECTED to send a copy of the appropriate § 2255 form to Bullock. If Bullock elects to pursue a § 2255 motion, he shall have twenty-eight days within which to file his motion on the appropriate § 2255 form provided by the Clerk. Bullock should send the original of the § 2255 form to:

FootNotes


1. Title 28 Section 2255 states four grounds upon which such relief may be claimed: (1) that the sentence was imposed in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States; (2) that the court was without jurisdiction to impose such sentence; (3) that the sentence was in excess of the maximum authorized by law; and (4) that the sentence is otherwise subject to collateral attack. 28 U.S.C. § 2255(a).
