Roberts v. United States

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit
Aug 15, 1966
365 F.2d 251 (9th Cir. 1966)

Opinion

No. 20858.

August 15, 1966.

Robert Walter Roberts, in pro. per.

William P. Copple, U.S. Atty., Jo Ann D. Diamos, Asst. U.S. Atty., Tucson, Ariz., for appellee.

Before BROWNING, JOHNSEN and DUNIWAY, Circuit Judges.

Harvey M. Johnsen, 8th Circuit, sitting by designation.


Appeal from an order denying a motion made under section 2255, Title 28, U.S.C.

It appears that Roberts is not now serving the sentence to which his motion is directed, but is serving a prior valid sentence which has not yet expired. For that reason, the trial court correctly denied the present motion. When Roberts has completed serving the prior sentence, he will then be in a position to renew his motion and to bring before the trial court the substantial questions that he raises as to the validity of the sentence of August 23, 1965, the validity of the order vacating that sentence of November 4, 1965, and the effect of his purported discharge under that sentence on November 5, 1965.

Affirmed without prejudice to the renewal of the motion in the trial court at an appropriate time.
