Before HASTINGS, Senior Circuit Judge, and KERNER and STEVENS, Circuit Judges.

HASTINGS, Senior Circuit Judge.

The only issue raised by these appeals is whether a person who pleads guilty to a charge of a federal narcotics law violation, without knowledge that he will be ineligible for parole from the sentence he receives, enters his guilty plea voluntarily with an understanding of the consequences of such plea.

Defendant William C. Smith was charged in two two-count indictments with violations of the narcotics laws.
