Opinion
The appellant’s lengthy motion to vacate sentence, 28 U.S.C. § 2255, was denied without a hearing. Twenty-nine grounds for relief were asserted. These were carefully reviewed and rejected by the district court in an opinion appearing at 287 F.Supp. 214.
Upon a careful consideration of the voluminous record, including the trial transcript, we find no reversible error of law, nor clear error in the findings of fact. See United States v. Re, 2 Cir. 1967, 372 F.2d 641, cert. denied 388 U.S. 912, 87 S.Ct. 2112, 18 L.Ed.2d 1352. Delegal v. United States, 5 Cir. 1966, 363 F.2d 433; United States v. Gernie, 2 Cir. 1961, 287 F.2d 637, cert. denied 368 U.S. 854, 82 S.Ct. 91, 7 L.Ed.2d 52; United States v. Schultz, 7 Cir. 1961, 286 F.2d 753.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
