Description
BEFORE: ENGEL and KRUPANSKY, Circuit Judges; and CELEBREZZE, Senior Circuit Judge Order The petitioner has appealed from the District Court's judgment denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus in which he alleged that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with the entry of his plea of guilty and his subsequent appeals, that his plea was not voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently entered, that he did not understand the charges to which he pled guilty, that his attorneys and the prosecutor failed to comply with the terms of the plea bargain, that he was denied transcripts of the plea and sentencing proceeding and the post-conviction hearing and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel during the post-conviction proceeding. The matter is now before this Court on the petitioner's motion for the appointment of counsel to represent him on appeal. The petitioner has also filed an informal brief in which he presents the issues he wishes considered on appeal. It appears from a careful review of the District Court record including the transcripts of the plea proceeding and the post-conviction hearing, that the petitioner's plea of guilty was voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly entered, see Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970); Armstrong v. Egeler, 563 F.2d 796 (6th Cir. 1977) and that the petitioner received the assistance of counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, see Beasley v. United States, 491 F.2d 687 (6th Cir. 1974). The Court further concludes that the petitioner's remaining claims were insufficient to entitle him to habeas corpus relief.
