No. 89-35797.

920 F.2d 610 (1990)

Dennis Ralph KATZ, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided December 11, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dennis Ralph Katz, Safford, Ariz., in pro per.

Andrew R. Hamilton, Asst. U.S. Atty., Seattle, Wash., for defendant-appellee.

Before TANG, NELSON and CANBY, Circuit Judges.


TANG, Circuit Judge:

Dennis Katz ("Katz") appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Katz alleged ineffective assistance of counsel based on his counsel's failure to perfect his appeal. The district court denied the petition, ruling that his escape disentitled his appeal and that the extreme delay prejudiced the government. We affirm the denial of the petition.
