¶2*584Donald L. Malouf, Dallas, Tex. (court-appointed), for appellant; Louis Vaughn Hooper, in pro. per.

¶3Wm. F. Sanderson, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty., Eldon B. Mahon, U. S. Atty., for appellee.

¶4Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, and MORGAN and INGRAHAM, Circuit Judges.

¶5PER CURIAM:

¶6The principal contentions in this appeal1 from a conviction of interstate transportation of falsely made and forged securities, in violation of 18 U. S.C. § 2314, are that appellant’s signing of the initial Rule 20 Consent was made without effective consultation with his court-appointed attorney, and that such error because of his agitated condition was not cured by his signing a subsequent Rule 20 Consent. These points were not raised before the district court, and the record does not present sufficient facts for determination of the questions now asserted on direct appeal. Neither were any facts developed concerning the allegations of a purported “trade” with the Assistant United States Attorney for a shorter sentence than that imposed by the District Judge.

¶7The judgment is affirmed, without prejudice to the right of appellant to present his contentions by other proceedings available to him. See Moore v. United States, 5 Cir., 1966, 359 F.2d 852; Tyree v. United States, 5 Cir., 1965, 351 F.2d 611.
