1Opinion of the Court
LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Circuit Judge.
Convicted in the district court of various federal frauds, 1 Peter Canessa moved under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate the conviction and sentence. He also moved to have an investigation at government expense, and for witness subpoenas. The district court having ruled against him on all except the request for subpoenas, he brings this appeal. The district court’s findings and rulings, made after an evidentiary hearing, are set out in a careful and comprehensive memorandum. We conclude that Canessa’s claims are without merit.
