George Forrens v. United States

OPINION

Before CARTER and HUFSTEDLER, Circuit Judges, and SCHNACKE,* District Judge.

SCHNACKE, District Judge:

Petitioner seeks to vacate his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, alleging that his plea of guilty to a charge of armed bank robbery was involuntary because he did not understand the English language at the time of his plea, and that he was given a 25-year sentence even though his lawyer promised him a maximum sentence of seven" years if he entered a plea of guilty.

The District Court after reviewing the records and files in the case denied the petition without an evidentiary hearing.
