U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided July 8, 1970 · Chambers, Merrill, Per Curiam, Wollenberg
427 F.2d 710; 1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 8280 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Harley W. Miller, and v. Hoyt C. Cupp, Warden, Oregon State Penitentiary

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The order denying habeas corpus after a full evidentiary hearing is affirmed.

We agree with the district court that there was not an adequate showing of ineffectiveness of counsel in the sense of farce or sham. The issue of promises of leniency was resolved against petitioner on a question of fact.

The question of not knowing the consequences of the guilty plea would be serious if Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274, is retroactive, but we have seen no indication that it is.
