FRANK GRIFFIN, APPELLANT
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE

D.C. Cir. | 1959-05-07
No. 14766
Before Mr. Justice Burton, retired, and Edgerton and Fahy, Circuit Judges.
266 F.2d 465 United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (1959) Positive Treatment
Cited by 11 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

On August 5, 1957, a grand jury filed what it described as a “True Ignoramus”, which was signed by its foreman and contained the words: “ * * * We * * * do Ignore 1. Ronald Allston; 2. Frank Griffin.” On the same day the same grand jury returned a narcotics indictment on which the appellant Frank Griffin has been tried and convicted. It is not clear whether the “Ignoramus” or the indictment came first. In either case, the “Ignoramus” does not affect the validity of the indictment. See United States v. Thompson, 251 U.S. 407, 40 S.Ct. 289, 64 L.Ed. 333.

In our opinion appellant was not denied effective assistance of counsel.

Affirmed.
