William D. Messamore v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit · Decided December 9, 1953 · Simons, Allen, Martin
209 F.2d 258; 1953 U.S. App. LEXIS 3153 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

William D. Messamore v. United States

Opinion

*259 PER CURIAM.

Appellant, who was convicted by jury verdict of bank robbery and sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment, charges that he has been deprived of his constitutional rights guaranteed under the Sixth Amendment, in that the attorney selected and employed by him failed to represent him faithfully. Appellant does not charge that the attorney did not adequately represent him during the trial, but insists that, after conviction of appellant, the attorney was delinquent in respect to appealing the case.

We do not find the charge justified upon the record; and, accordingly, the order of the district court denying the motion of appellant to vacate the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
