What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. The issue is: "Did the court rule that there was insufficient evidence for conviction?" 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.
Frank Tesciona has filed what he-calls a motion and petition to vacate judgment and correct sentence, addressed to this court. This court has no jurisdiction to grant such an order. The petition, however, recites that a motion was made in the lower court to correct the judgment and sentence imposed upon Tesciona by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California based upon his claim that several of the counts state but a single offense for which but a single penalty can be imposed. The District Court denied the motion on May 10, 1943 and refused to allow an appeal upon the ground that the .application was without merit, citing our ■decision in O’Brien v. Squier, 9 Cir., 133 F.2d 123.
In addition to the petition to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis a notice of appeal was filed on July 3, 1943. .The notice and petition were within the period for which an appeal could be taken. Wells v. United States, 318 U.S. 257, 63 S.Ct. 582, 87 L.Ed. —; Nye v. United States, 313 U.S. 33, 34, 61 S.Ct. 810, 85 L.Ed. 1172.
The question is whether or not an effective appeal has been taken to this court. If so, the papers now filed by the petitioner may be treated as a brief on appeal. If not, the application must be denied. Before passing upon this question we desire to hear from the United States attorney for the Southern District of California, with leave to the petitioner to reply to any showing made by the United States attorney. Brief of the United States attorney may be filed within thirty days and the reply brief within thirty days thereafter.
