1Per curiam
This appeal follows the denial by the District Court of King’s motion under 28 U.S. C.A. § 2255 to vacate and set aside sentence. We affirm.
King is presently serving a ten-year sentence imposed following a guilty plea to importing heroin. Subsequent to his conviction for this substantive offense, he was indicted, tried and found guilty by a jury of conspiring to import heroin. The trial court imposed a fifteen-year consecutive sentence on the conspiracy charge. This Court affirmed his conviction on direct appeal. United States v. King, 5 Cir., 1975, 517 F.2d 350.
