256 F.2d 957 (1958)

James Francis HILL, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit.

June 26, 1958.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arnold Morelli, Cincinnati, Ohio, James Francis Hill, pro se on brief, for appellant.

James M. Meek, Asst. U. S. Atty., Knoxville, Tenn., John C. Crawford, Jr., U. S. Atty., Knoxville, Tenn., on brief, for appellee.

Before SIMONS, Chief Judge, and MILLER and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying without a hearing a motion filed under 28 U.S. C.A., § 2255 to set aside a prison sentence which Hill is now serving as a result of conviction by a jury of federal criminal offenses. The motion alleged that although serious prejudicial errors were committed at the trial, Hill was physically prevented by government officials from taking a direct appeal from the judgment of conviction.
