U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided May 24, 1963 · De Vane, Jones, Per Curiam, Tuttle
318 F.2d 17; 1963 U.S. App. LEXIS 5178 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Willie Fred Phillips v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal from the denial of a motion under Section 2255 for vacation of the sentence of conviction, it appears that upon the advice of counsel appellant entered a plea of guilty.

Affirmed.
