Before GOODRICH, STALEY and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
This is an appeal from an order by the judge of the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in which the court denied the appellant's motion to correct a sentence imposed on him April 1, 1958. He contends that he is being subjected to double jeopardy because, he says, a five-year sentence imposed upon him was for a crime which was but an aggravated form of the crime charged in a companion case. In denying the defendant's motion the trial judge correctly cited Harris v. United States, 1959, 359 U.S. 19, 79 S.Ct. 560, 3 L.Ed.2d 597, and United States v. Johnson, 7 Cir., 1956, 235 F.2d 159. This disposes of the case.

2
The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
