U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
Albert Andrews v. John T. Willingham, Warden, United States Penitentiary, Lewisburg, Pa, 288 F.2d 65 (3d Cir. 1961)
1961 U.S. App. LEXIS 4971

Albert Andrews v. John T. Willingham, Warden, United States Penitentiary, Lewisburg, Pa

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an attempt of a prisoner serving a sentence under a conviction of federal crime to attack that judgment collaterally by habeas corpus in the district court for the district where he is confined. The correct remedy in such a case is a proceeding under Section 2255 of Title 28 U.S.C., in the court in which the prisoner was convicted. United States ex rel. Josey v. Humphrey, 3 Cir., 1954, 210 F.2d 826; Arlen v. Hagan, 3 Cir., 1959, 268 F.2d 77.

For this reason the judgment will be affirmed.
