BELL v. UNITED STATES

No. 24159.

375 F.2d 763 (1967)

Coleman Harper BELL, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

April 7, 1967.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Coleman Harper Bell, pro se.

H. M. Ray, U. S. Atty., E. Grady Jolly, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty., Oxford, Miss., for appellee.

Before BROWN, MOORE, and BELL, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:

On June 2, 1965, Bell, after formal waiver of indictment and counsel, pleaded guilty to violation of the Dyer Act, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2312. Bell here attacks his conviction on several grounds, but only one deserves mention — that he was denied due process by the Government's failure to request, and the District Court's failure to order, a pretrial inquiry under 18 U.S.C.A. § 4244 into Bell's mental competency to stand trial.
