1Opinion of the Court
DAVID T. LEWIS, Circuit Judge.
This appeal is taken from an order of the District Court for the District of Colorado summarily dismissing appellant’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner, a state prisoner, is presently serving a sentence of not less than ten years imposed after entry of plea of guilty to the offense of unlawful possession of narcotics. He alleges that his plea of guilty was an involuntary and coerced act, 1 which allegation if substantiated would, of course, be a proper basis for federal relief. Jackson v. Denno, 378 U.S. 368, 84 S.Ct. 1774, 12 L.Ed.2d 908.
