*2SANBORN, Circuit Judge.

Carl Harvey Bistram, on his plea of guilty, entered September 27, 1949, to an indictment charging him with the crime of kidnapping in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1201(a), was sentenced by the District Court on October 28, 1949, to imprisonment for thirty years. He has unsuccessfully moved that court three times, under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, for the vacation of his sentence. This appeal is from an order denying Bistram’s third such motion. The District Court has stated fully the grounds for the denial in Bistram v. United States, D.C., 180 F. Supp. 501.
