James Blaine Gillespie v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit · Decided April 25, 1967 · Edwards, McCree, Cecil
376 F.2d 414; 1967 U.S. App. LEXIS 6624 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

James Blaine Gillespie v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, having long since served a 1936 sentence for Dyer Act violation (18 U.S.C. § 2312), filed a motion to vacate same under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 or coram nobis.

Appellant is no longer confined as a result of the sentence he attacks, nor was it used as a predicate for his current habitual criminal sentence under which he is confined in a New York State prison. Any benefit to him from success in this-motion is most speculative.

Like the District Judge, we see no “circumstances compelling such action to achieve justice.” United States v. Morgan, 346 U.S. 502, 511, 74 S.Ct. 247, 252, 98 L.Ed. 248 (1954).

Affirmed.
