Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
Johnson appeals from an order denying his section 2255 petition challenging the validity of his conviction for violations of 26 U.S.C. § 4755(a) (1). Johnson, who was then represented by counsel, had entered his plea of guilty to both counts.
Johnson’s plea of guilty under the circumstances of this case constituted a waiver of his privilege against self-incrimination (Brady v. United States (1970) 397 U.S. 742, 90 S.Ct. 1463, 25 L.Ed.2d 747.)
We have examined the record to ascertain the merits of his claims that the Government coerced the plea by threatening to indict him on spurious charges and that his counsel did not represent him fairly or effectively. We have concluded that the record does not support his claims.
The order is affirmed.
