Heading: Coercion by Other Inmates.

Text: 7 In his Sec. 2255 motion, Kohley alleges that the United States Attorney coerced him into taking a passive role during the sentencing hearing by suggesting that harm would come to Kohley's family if Kohley spoke. In the Formal Motion of Apology to John Osgood filed in the district court on June 19, 1985, Kohley appears to have withdrawn this allegation. He alleges for the first time on appeal that the coercion came from other inmates. We do not consider issues of fact raised for the first time on appeal. Even if we were to do so, we would find Kohley's contention without merit, because there is no indication that Kohley concealed anything from the district court as a result of the alleged coercion. 8
