OPINION OF THE COURT
PER CURIAM:
This is a collateral attack under section 2255 of title 28, United States Code, by a federal prisoner upon the conviction pursuant to which he is now confined.
For the reasons stated in the opinion of the district court, 287 F.Supp. 870, we rule that the present claim that the indictment upon which the accused was tried was fatally defective is without merit.
The judgment will be affirmed.
