Task: songer_counsel

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. The issue is: "Did the court rule that the defendant had inadequate counsel?" Answer the question based on the directionality of the appeals court decision. If the court discussed the issue in its opinion and answered the related question in the affirmative, answer "Yes". If the issue was discussed and the opinion answered the question negatively, answer "No". If the opinion considered the question but gave a mixed answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part, answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion does not discuss the issue, or notes that a particular issue was raised by one of the litigants but the court dismissed the issue as frivolous or trivial or not worthy of discussion for some other reason, answer "Issue not discussed". If the opinion considered the question but gave a "mixed" answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part (or if two issues treated separately by the court both fell within the area covered by one question and the court answered one question affirmatively and one negatively), answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion either did not consider or discuss the issue at all or if the opinion indicates that this issue was not worthy of consideration by the court of appeals even though it was discussed by the lower court or was raised in one of the briefs, answer "Issue not discussed". If the court answered the question in the affirmative, but the error articulated by the court was judged to be harmless, answer "Yes, but error was harmless". 

PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order denying a motion made under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 to vacate sentences of imprisonment imposed upon one William Edward Aired on pleas of guilty to indictments charging bank robbery, conspiracy to rob a bank, violation of the National Motor Vehicle-Theft Act, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 2311-2313, and violation of the Federal Firearms Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 901 et seq., and a plea of nolo contendere to an indictment charging violation of the National Stolen Property Act, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 2311, 2314-2317. The motion was entirely without merit and was properly denied. Aired was represented by competent counsel upon the entry of the pleas and was not denied any constitutional right. He may not have the sentences entered against him set aside and his case tried over by claiming that the attorney whom he selected did not properly represent him. Crowe v. United States, 4 Cir., 175 F.2d 799. In addition to this, both the judge below, on the motion from which appeal is taken, and Judge Underwood, on a petition for habeas corpus, have fully investigated the charges made by the prisoner against his attorney and have found them utterly lacking in merit. An examination of the record convinces us that these findings are correct
Affirmed.
