Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM:

John Robert Sanders appeals from a judgment of conviction of bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2113(a) and (d). He was tried to a jury and represented by privately retained counsel.

On this appeal, Sanders asserts that he was denied his constitutional right to adequate legal representation as the result of the incompetence of the lawyer who represented him at trial.

We have carefully examined the record in this case and find no basis for appellant’s claim that he was not adequately represented.

The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
