1Opinion of the Court
BROWNING, Circuit Judge.
Appellant was charged with the armed robbery of a federally insured bank in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). He pleaded guilty and was sentenced. A motion to vacate sentence was filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, alleging in substance that appellant’s plea was induced by the misrepresentations of an Assistant United States Attorney. The District Court ordered a hearing, at which appellant requested the court to appoint counsel to assist him. The request was denied. We hold that, in the circumstances of this case, denial of appellant’s request for counsel was error.
