Robert Ward Norman v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The court is of the opinion that the trend of recent Supreme Court cases as interpreted here requires that appellant now be given a hearing on the merits of his contention that he was not competent mentally at the time of his plea and sentence. Accordingly, the order of the district court dated May 4, 1959, is vacated and the cause remanded.
