No. 19888.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

Dec. 11, 1962.

Carl M. Cathcart pro se.

Donald C. Lehman, Asst., U.S. Atty., Jacksonville, Fla., Edith House, U.S. Atty., Southern Dist. of Florida, for appellee.

Before RIVES, CAMERON and BELL, Circuit Judges.

The district court, after a full hearing, denied appellant's motion to vacate sentence under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255, explaining the reasons for such denial in a well considered opinion, with which, after a careful reading and consideration of the entire record, we find ourselves in full agreement.

The movant did in fact proceed without objection. We are convinced that the movant has been accorded every consideration to protect his constitutional rights, and the judgment is

Affirmed.
