P. 60(b)(6) motion was correctly determined to be a second 28 U.S.C.S. § 2255 motion because it could be read to attack the court's resolution of his previous § 2255 motion which raised similar arguments; furthermore, the court denied to authorize a second § 2255 motion because he had not pointed to any new evidence.
