No. 13906.

318 F.2d 436 (1963)

Willie SINKS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Seventh Circuit.

May 9, 1963.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard J. Flynn, Chicago, Ill., for appellant.

James P. O'Brien, U. S. Atty., William O. Bittman, Asst. U. S. Atty., Chicago, Ill., for appellee, John Peter Lulinski, John Powers Crowley, Asst. U. S. Attys., of counsel.

Before HASTINGS, Chief Judge, and KNOCH and KILEY, Circuit Judges.

KILEY, Circuit Judge.

Sinks' motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate a judgment and sentence was denied, without a hearing, by order of the District Court. He has appealed in forma pauperis.

Sinks was convicted by a jury in 1958 for violation of the narcotics law, 21 U.S.C. § 174, and because of an earlier similar conviction was sentenced as a second offender to a term of ten years. He did not appeal from the judgment.
