NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE WILLIAMS, APPELLANT,
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE

10th Cir. | 1967-01-11
No. 8809
371 F.2d 536 United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (1967) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appeal is from an order entered, without an evidentiary hearing, upon a post trial motion filed by appellant, which motion was considered by the court as one filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

The allegations of the motion may be summarized as an attack upon the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury verdict of guilty rendered against appellant in a previously tried criminal case. It clearly constitutes a collateral attack upon the judgment of conviction and does not constitute sufficient grounds for relief under § 2255.1

Appellant’s brief raises the question of an attempt by him to take an appeal from the judgment of conviction and sentence. This question was not raised by the motion filed in the trial court and is raised here for the first time. Therefore, we are precluded from considering the point. It may still be appropriately presented to the trial court.

Affirmed.
