Task: songer_majvotes

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the number of judges who voted in favor of the disposition favored by the majority. Judges who concurred in the outcome but wrote a separate concurring opinion are counted as part of the majority. For most cases this variable takes the value "2" or "3." However, for cases decided en banc the value may be as high as 15. Note: in the typical case, a list of the judges who heard the case is printed immediately before the opinion. If there is no indication that any of the judges dissented and no indication that one or more of the judges did not participate in the final decision, then all of the judges listed as participating in the decision are assumed to have cast votes with the majority. The number of majority votes recorded includes district judges or other judges sitting by designation who participated on the appeals court panel. If there is an indication that a judge heard argument in the case but did not participate in the final opinion (e.g., the judge died before the decision was reached), that judge is not counted in the number of majority votes.

PER CURIAM:
On January 16, 1956, a two-count indictment was filed in the District Court charging appellant with rape and robbery. After a plea of not guilty, appellant was tried and found guilty of assault with intent to commit rape and robbery. This appeal is from the District Court’s denial without hearing of appellant’s motion, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, to set aside this 1956 conviction.
Appellant’s first contention is that he was convicted of a crime, assault with intent to rape, for which he was not indicted. Assuming for purposes of this appeal that this contention states sufficient grounds for collateral attack, appellant cannot prevail on this point for assault with intent to rape is a lesser included offense in the charge of rape. United States v. Lovely, E.D.S.C., 77 F.Supp. 619, 621, reversed on other grounds, 4 Cir., 169 F.2d 386 (1948); People v. Kimball, 122 Cal.App.2d 211, 264 P.2d 582 (1953).
On appeal, appellant makes certain allegations, not made below, which might form the basis for a successful claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Since the issue was not presented below, we do not reach the question on this appeal. We do note, however, that our judgment here is without prejudice to appellant’s raising the issue in a later motion by proper and sufficient pleadings in the District Court.
