Docket Number | Crim. No. 19674. |
Citation | 138 F. Supp. 192 |
Parties | UNITED STATES of America v. Hilliard SANDERS. |
Court | U.S. District Court — District of Maryland |
George Cochran Doub, U. S. Atty., and William F. Mosner, Asst. U. S. Atty., Baltimore, Md., for the United States.
Eli Baer, Baltimore, Md., for petitioner.
Hilliard Sanders, convicted of bank robbery by a jury in this court and sentenced by Judge Chesnut in 1942 to twenty years imprisonment, has made application for relief under 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 1651 and 2255. A similar motion was heard and denied by Judge Chesnut in 1950, D.C., 92 F.Supp. 447, affirmed Sanders v. United States, 4 Cir., 183 F.2d 748. Judge Chesnut had previously denied release under a writ of habeas corpus in 1944, Sanders v. Brady, D. C., 57 F.Supp. 87, and other courts have considered various proceedings brought by Sanders either attacking the proceedings in which he was convicted or complaining of the conditions of his imprisonment. See Sanders v. Sanford, 5 Cir., 138 F.2d 415, certiorari denied 322 U.S. 744, 64 S.Ct. 1142, 88 L.Ed. 1576, rehearing denied 322 U.S. 773, 64 S.Ct. 1283, 88 L.Ed. 1593; Sanders v. Bennett, 80 U.S.App.D.C. 32, 148 F.2d 19; Sanders v. Johnston, 9 Cir., 165 F.2d 736; certiorari denied 334 U.S. 829, 68 S.Ct. 1328, 92 L.Ed. 1757, rehearing denied 335 U.S. 838, 69 S.Ct. 7, 93 L.Ed. 390; Sanders v. Johnston, 9 Cir., 159 F.2d 74; Sanders v. Swope, 9 Cir., 176 F.2d 311.
In its opinion affirming the conviction, Sanders v. United States, 127 F.2d 647, certiorari denied 317 U.S. 626, 63 S.Ct. 37, 87 L.Ed. 506, the Fourth Circuit said:
On the appeal in 1950 from the denial of relief under section 2255, the Fourth Circuit considered Sanders' contentions (1) that he did not have the undivided assistance of counsel, and (2) that he was convicted on false testimony. The court said 183 F.2d 749:
The present application for relief is based upon substantially the same grounds as the 1950 application, but alleges the facts in greater detail, and claims that Sanders is entitled a hearing at which he is present in person.
Section 2255 provides, inter alia:
