PER CURIAM.

This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the brief filed by appellant. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C.Cir. Rule 34(j). Upon consideration of the foregoing, the motion for appointment of counsel, and the motion to dismiss and the opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion for appointment of counsel be denied. With the exception of defendants appealing or defending in criminal cases, appellants are not entitled to appointment of counsel when they have not demonstrated sufficient likelihood of success on the merits. It is

The writ of audita querela is not available in cases within the ambit of 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and the writ of coram nobis. See United States v. Ayala, 894 F.2d 425, 428-29 (D.C.Cir.1990); In re Kennedy, No. 07-3048, unpublished order (D.C.Cir. July 27, 2007).
