Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi; Claude F. Clayton, Judge.

Charles Cecil Ford, pro se.

H. M. Ray, U. S. Atty., Oxford, Miss., for appellee.

Before WHITAKER,*  Senior Judge, and RIVES and JONES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


For the reasons set forth in Weed v. United States, 342 F.2d 971, there must be a hearing upon the contention raised by the appellant. Although, as is said in the Weed opinion, it may be that the matter can be heard and disposed of by the district court without requiring the presence of the appellant.

The judgment of the district court is

Reversed.
