Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided September 2, 1970No. 29270_1PublishedCited by 12 opinions
1Per curiam
Ruben Torres Mejia appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to vacate judgment and sentence. 1 We affirm. 2
Petitioner pleaded guilty on December 8, 1965 to smuggling 535 pounds of marihuana into the United States in violation of 21 U.S.C.A. § 176a. He now attacks the judgment of conviction entered on that plea. There is no merit in his contentions either that Rule 11, F.R.Cr.P. was not complied with or that Leary v. United States, 1969, 395 U.S. 6, 89 S.Ct. 1532, 23 L.Ed.2d 57 entitles him to relief. 3
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
