¶1Joseph L. Bortin, San Francisco, Cal., for appellant.

¶2Chauncey Tramutolo, U. S. Atty., Joseph Karesh, Asst. U. S. Atty., San Francisco, Cal., for appellee.

¶3Before DENMAN, Chief Judge, and BONE and POPE, Circuit Judges.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5This is an appeal from a judgment dismissing appellant’s application for a writ of habeas corpus, the court holding that appellant had not maintained his burden of proof that the judgment imposed by the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas was illegal.

¶6We agree with the decision of the court below that appellant had not been coerced into pleading guilty and that the local court’s summarization of the indictment was sufficient.1

¶7Appellant concedes that if he is unable to maintain his application’s allegations concerning the trial of the Arkansas case, he is presently legally confined by the Warden and that he is not in a position to urge that another sentence, imposed by the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, is invalid.

¶8The judgment is affirmed.
