Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

[*377] PER CURIAM.

The appellant Moreland was convicted in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado of the crime of armed robbery, in violation of 18 U. S.C. § 2114. His conviction was affirmed. Moreland v. United States, 10 Cir., 270 F. 2d 887. This proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 attacks the judgment and sentence on the ground that Moreland’s arrest by state officers without a warrant was in violation of his constitutional rights. We find no error in the trial court’s dismissal of the petition without a hearing.

An illegal arrest without more does not void a conviction and is not grounds for collateral attack under Section 2255. Tanner v. United States, 10 Cir., 296 F. 2d 218; Roddy v. United States, 10 Cir. 296 F. 2d 9; Klink v. Looney, 10 Cir., 262 F. 2d 119; Whitney V. Zerbst, 10 Cir., 62 F. 2d 970.

Affirmed.
