Opinion of the Court
BARNES, Circuit Judge:

BARNES, Circuit Judge:

The issues presented on this appeal should have been presented on the direct appeal from the judgment of conviction. See United States v. Evans, 425 F. 2d 302 (9th Cir. 1970), petition for rehearing denied January 5, 1971, cert. den. 402 U.S. 987, 91 S.Ct. 1648, 29 L.Ed.2d 153.

“Section 2255 cannot take the place of an original appeal. More properly stated, § 2255 may not be invoked to relitigate questions which were or should have been raised on a direct appeal from the judgment of conviction.” United States v. Marchese, 341 F. 2d 782, 789 (9th Cir. 1965), cert. den. 382 U.S. 817, 86 S.Ct. 41, 15 L.Ed.2d 64.

See also Hammond v. United States, 408 F. 2d 481 (9th Cir. 1969), and United States v. Rocha, 458 F. 2d 441 (9th Cir., decided March 27, 1972).

Affirmed.
