OPINION OF THE COURT
ADAMS, Circuit Judge.
This appeal requires us once again to deal with difficult legal and factual problems relating to post-sentence attempts to withdraw guilty pleas.
Simon Hawthorne, appellant, was charged in a two count indictment, filed on May 3, 1973, with selling cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). On May 14, 1973, Hawthorne pleaded not guilty to both counts. However, on July 5, 1973, he pleaded guilty at a Rule 11 proceeding 1 to one of the two counts and, at the same time, the United States announced its intention to move to dismiss the other count.
