U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit December 8, 1964

Jimmie W. Sullivan v. J. C. Taylor, Warden, United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, 338 F.2d 1004 (10th Cir. 1964)

Murrah, Per Curiam, Pickett, Seth

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In this habeas corpus proceedings, the petitioner attacks his judgment of sentence contending that a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is “inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention.” The same issues presented here were before the trial Court in a former 2255 proceedings, affirmed in this Court in Sullivan v. United States, 10 Cir., 315 F.2d 304. The remedy under Sec. 2255 is not inadequate or ineffective even though unsuccessful.

Affirmed.
