Hatch filed the request Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Providence. A judge has not yet ruled on the matter.
Hatch, who is serving as his own lawyer, is now being held in a federal prison in West Virginia.
In court filings, Hatch said he is innocent, was represented by an ineffective lawyer and that a judge improperly calculated his sentence.
Prosecutors say they'll respond to Hatch's motion in the coming weeks.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused in October to consider Hatch's case.
