Raymond Edward Dejong, Petitioner-appellee, v. United States of America, Respondent-appellant, 455 F.2d 1382 (5th Cir. 1972)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 455 F.2d 1382 (5th Cir. 1972) March 6, 1972

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia.

R. Jackson B. Smith, Jr., U. S. Atty., S. D. of Georgia, Henry L. Whisenhunt, Jr., William T. Morton, Asst. U. S. Attys., for respondent-appellant.

O. Torbitt Ivey, Jr., Augusta, Ga., for petitioner-appellee.

Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, and INGRAHAM and RONEY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Normally this case would have to be reversed because of the apparent lack of a sufficient record to support the action of the district court. However, under the particular circumstances of this case, which have little chance of reoccurring, and being mindful of the broad purpose of 28 U.S.C. § 2255, we believe that the overall ends of justice require us to affirm.

Affirmed.
