FRANK GRIFFIN, APPELLANT
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
On August 5, 1957, a grand jury filed what it described as a “True Ignoramus”, which was signed by its foreman and contained the words: “ * * * We * * * do Ignore 1. Ronald Allston; 2. Frank Griffin.” On the same day the same grand jury returned a narcotics indictment on which the appellant Frank Griffin has been tried and convicted. It is not clear whether the “Ignoramus” or the indictment came first. In either case, the “Ignoramus” does not affect the validity of the indictment. See United States v. Thompson, 251 U.S. 407, 40 S.Ct. 289, 64 L.Ed. 333.
In our opinion appellant was not denied effective assistance of counsel.
Affirmed.
