The Grand Jury for the Western District of Michigan returned a two-count indictment against the above-named defendant and George Lloyd Glisson and Robert Emmett Leonard, charging, in effect, in Count I that the three men named entered the Centreville State Bank at Centreville, Michigan, with intent to commit a larceny therefrom, and in Count II that the same men by force and violence and by an assault did rob the bank of $4,306 in money, the deposits in said bank being insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and being a member of the Federal Reserve System.
On the 18th of November, 1954, Robert Emmett Leonard appeared before the Court and pleaded guilty to the charges against him. On the 24th day of November, 1954, Kelley and Glisson appeared before the Court, without counsel and entered pleas of not guilty. Defendants requested the appointment of counsel and Mr. Collins E. Brooks of Grand Rapids, a lawyer well-known to this Court and of good reputation, was appointed to represent the defendant, Roy Kelley. The Court ordered the trial of Kelley and Glisson to commence on Monday, the 17th day of January, 1955, and the trial continued for a day and a half. During the noon recess on the second day of the trial Kelley and Glisson advised the Court that they desired to be heard relative to the pleas of not guilty previously entered. When Court reconvened the respondents advised the Court that they desired to withdraw their former “not *584guilty” pleas and enter pleas of “guilty” to each count of the indictment.
After a full interrogation of each defendant separately, the Court was satis-Red that each of the defendants was pleading guilty voluntarily and with full knowledge of the consequences of such plea. That portion of the proceedings relative to this defendant, Roy Kelley, is set forth in the margin.1
*585After a complete presentence investígation by the Probation Department, the defendant Kelley was sentenced to a term of 12% years on each of the two counts of the indictment, the terms to be served concurrently and not consecutively.2 Since his commitment Kelley has addressed numerous letters to the Court requesting that his sentence be reduced and complaining that the defendant Leonard received a shorter sentence.3
On June 6th there was filed with the Court a paper labeled, “Motion for Transfer from District for Plea and Sentence” which paper contained “A Motion for a New Separate Trial based on *586the Grounds of Newly Discovered Evidence.” This motion consists of one short paragraph in which petitioner states that he files the motion under the provisions of 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915. Petitioner states that he is unable to pay the costs of the motion or the record and prays for transfer of his case to the district of Judge Barnes of Chicago. He states that the motion is filed under Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, rules 20, 21 and 33, 18 U.S.C.A., and that the petition is for specified court records.
From a'letter dated, June 28,1955, and received July 5, 1955, it appears that petitioner intended the June 6th petition to be a prayer for a transcript of the complete record in forma pauperis.
On July 16, 1955, petitioner filed two papers, one entitled “Petition of Due Process of Law in Support of Writ of Habeas Corpus ad testificandum and Motion of Redress on leave to appeal in forma pauperis before Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of United States based on prejudice and newly discovered evidence.” The other paper filed on J uly 16th was labeled, “Petitioner of a Writ of Habeas Corpus ad testificandum filed in forma pauperis.”
In the first petition Kelley recites that he has no money to pay costs or counsel; that the defendant Leonard testified falsely in return for a shorter sentence; that the petitioner was kidnapped by the defendant Leonard; that petitioner has four witnesses to testify as to the “facts”, although the witnesses are not identified and neither is there a summary of the testimony which they would offer; that petitioner pleaded guilty under threat by the other defendant that if he did not he would be killed, that he is no longer fearful of personal harm since the defendant Leonard is confined in a different institution; that the sentencing judge was prejudiced as shown by a letter from the United States Probation Officer dated May 3, 1955, (the letter in question merely stated that the sentencing judge was not disposed to alter the sentence originally imposed). The second of the two papers states again that the petitioner was without funds and asks that he be brought before the court to present newly discovered evidence; that questions of fact will be raised concerning false testimony; that petitioner is a material and necessary witness.
It should be noted at this time that the defendant Leonard, to whom the petitioner makes reference, was confined in a different jail in this district than the defendant Kelley from the time that defendant Leonard pleaded guilty.
From the petitions on file one thing is clear, the petitioner would like to be released from prison. Having given up hope of being released by this court he would like to have his case transferred to some other court recommended to him by fellow prisoners.
Also it appears that he would like a transcript of the proceedings which are of no consequence since his plea of guilty was received, and it may be that he would like to appeal by some means not outlined in the papers on file.
The care taken at the time the plea of guilty was entered is evidenced by the quotations from the transcript previously footnoted.
The allegations relative to new evidence are not supported by statements of fact nor are they supported by affidavits as required by the Rules.4
Letters previously received request that the sentence imposed be reduced from 124/2 years to 5 years. In several of the letters Kelley stated that he was drunk at the time that the robbery took place; that he was influenced by his companions and that he participated in the robbery under threats from the other participants. He has also addressed letters to a member of the United States Senate requesting intervention by the Senate.
In effect the petitioner seeks various types of relief — (1) that new counsel be appointed, (2) that his case be transferred to another court (apparently for trial), (3) for a Writ of Habeas Corpus *587ad testificandum, (4) for a vacation or correction of sentence, (5) for a new trial, (6) for a general review of his case to determine whether his constitutional rights have been infringed, and (7) for leave to appeal. The court’s conclusion as to the types of relief which the defendant may be requesting is based upon the motions filed and the several letter briefs filed in support of the motions.
Defendant has made reference to a number of decisions, many of which are not applicable to his situation. If questions of fact were raised the court is satisfied that the petitioner would be entitled to appear before the court and offer proofs. Walker v. Johnston, 1941, 312 U.S. 275, 61 S.Ct. 574, 85 L.Ed. 830. But see Gilmore v. United States, 10 Cir., 1942, 129 F.2d 199, and Barrett v. Hunter, 10 Cir., 1950, 180 F.2d 510, 20 A.L.R.2d 965. This court is satisfied that no questions of fact are raised by the petitions on file herein, and that the presence of the defendant is unnecessary. Therefore the petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus ad testificandum is denied.
Petitioner has asked that counsel be appointed. This court is of the opinion that it would be an imposition upon the members of the Bar to require any member thereof to represent the defendant in this proceeding. He was represented at the time of his trial and at the time of his plea of guilty by competent counsel, with whom he expressed satisfaction. The petition for appointment of counsel is denied.
Petitioner has requested that his case be transferred to another court without alleging any reasons therefor other than dissatisfaction with the sentence imposed. It appears that he mistakes his remedies. The provisions of Rule 20 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure 5 relative to the right to transfer of the proceedings for plea and sentence are not appropriate in this situation.
The plea for vacation or correction of sentence is apparently made pursuant to Title 28, U.S.C.A. § 2255.6 It does not appear that the sentence in question was imposed in violation of the Constitution or Laws of the United *588States, that the court was without jurisdiction to impose such sentence, that the sentence was in excess of the maximum authorized by law or that such sentence is otherwise subject to attack as required by the cited statute.
While in the opinion of this court the motion and the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, the court has caused notice thereof to be served upon the United States Attorney, who has filed a brief in opposition thereto and has stated that he does not care to be heard in open court.
As has been previously indicated the court does not feel it necessary to require the production of the prisoner for the determination of the questions raised by the several motions on file. The court is satisfied that under the provisions of Rules 21 and 22, the respondent is not entitled to have his case transferred to another district for a decision of the motion raised in connection with the plea of guilty heretofore entered.
This court is satisfied that the provisions of Title 28, U.S.C.A. § 2255, and Rule 25 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, do not require the transfer of this case for decision of a motion for vacation or correction of sentence. 4 Barron & Holtzoff Federal Practice and Procedure § 2301, Cook v. United States, 1 Cir., 1949, 171 F.2d 567, certiorari denied 336 U.S. 926, 69 S.Ct. 647, 93 L.Ed. 1088.
The plea for a new trial is dependent upon the vacation of the señ-tence and in the opinion of this court there is no reason for either. The motion therefore is denied.
Defendant also asked for a general review of his case to determine whether his constitutional rights have been infringed. From the testimony at the trial which was commenced and not finished, having been terminated by the plea of guilty, it appears that the defendants, including this defendant, were arrested by the local police within one hour after the robbery occurred. They were promptly arraigned before then United States Commissioner David E. Nims. They were properly indicted by the Grand Jury of this district, separate counsel were appointed for Kelley and Glissoji on request. A prompt trial was had after time was permitted for the attorneys to prepare themselves to try the case.
At the time that he pleaded guilty defendant frankly and fully admitted his participation in the bank robbery. The court asked “You were in on the whole deal?”, the petitioner answered, “I was”. In effect the petitioner now denies the statements made at the time of his plea of guilty, but makes no allegation as to specific facts in support of his denial of the earlier admissions.
The court is not enlightened as to the character of the newly discovered evidence claimed to be in the possession of the petitioner.
Respondent was fully advised of his rights at the time of his first arraignment and at the time of the plea of guilty. He was assisted by the advice of counsel *589with whom he expressed satisfaction, and we are of the opinion that his constitutional rights have been fully protected throughout the entire proceeding.
We call attention to the case of Adams v. United States, D.C.Cir., 1955, 222 F.2d 45, 48, in which the court said—
“We cannot say the District Court erred in denying without a hearing appellant’s motion under Section 2255. There was no legal point which required discussion or an explicit ruling; there was no genuine issue of material fact which required an evidentiary hearing. Summary disposition of futile and groundless motions is permissible under the terms of the statute, when ‘ “the motion and the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief ” ’ ”.
For the reasons herein stated the motion and requests of the petitioner are denied. An order may be entered accordingly.
