Wayne Francis Morse v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Wayne Francis Morse v. United States, 323 F.2d 418 (4th Cir. 1963)

Wayne Francis Morse v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

It appears that the District Judge granted a hearing on a number of issues raised by the appellant in a petition under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255. The petition was far from clear, and apparently the Judge did not consider that there was an additional contention of the appellant in respect to his mental capacity to stand trial. The petition cited certain alleged facts in support of this contention, which seem to require at least the court’s consideration as to whether a hearing is due on this issue. We remand the case for this determination.

Remanded.
