Task: songer_typeiss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

PER CURIAM.
The above cause came on to be heard upon the appeal of Robert Lee Wilhoit from an order of the District Court denying his motion to vacate and correct sentence, and it appearing that he was convicted by a jury of a violation of the Mann Act, 18 U.S.C.A. § 398 [now § 2421] et seq., on October 1, 1943, and was sentenced to the custody of the Attorney General for imprisonment for five years on one count, and seven and a half years on another count to run concurrently, and for five years on another count to begin at the expiration of the prior imprisonment, but the execution of the latter sentence being suspended, appellant being placed on probation therefor; and it appearing that appellant filed his motion to vacate sentence on October 22, 1949, on the ground that he was convicted on perjured testimony of the principal witness, who was the woman alleged to be the subject of interstate transportation for immoral purposes; and an affidavit of such witness, dated October '5, 1946, having been filed as a part of the .said motion, setting forth that she desired to confess and admit that she committed perjury against appellant on his trial; and the District Court having denied the said motion in an order in which it recited that the court had reviewed the transcript of testimony of appellant given ■ in his own behalf on his trial and compared the same with the above described affidavit, and was of the opinion that the affidavit, in so far as it purported to carry implications of appellant’s possible innocence, was palpably inadequate; and it appearing that the said affidavit did not specify or particularize any portion of the prior testimony of said witness as being false or constituting willful perjury as to a material fact at the trial; and after consideration of the briefs of appellant’ and of the government, and the court being duly advised,
Now, therefore, it is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the order of the District Court be and is hereby affirmed.
