ORDER DENYING MOTION TO VACATE AND SET ASIDE SENTENCE PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 2255
The Petitioner, incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary at Marion, Illinois, has filed a Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 . He seeks to attack *858 a sentence of 10 years with parole eligibility under 18 U.S.C. § 4208 (a)(2) imposed by this Court on February 27, 1967, in No. 193 — Criminal following his plea of guilty to assaulting Federal Officers in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111 .
Petitioner contends that 2 prior convictions, void under Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 , 83 S.Ct. 792 , 9 L.Ed.2d 799 (1963), were used to increase the punishment in violation of the holding in United States v. Tucker, 404 U.S. 443 , 92 S.Ct. 589 , 30 L.Ed.2d 592 (1972). He claims that these convictions were in Texas and Florida and attempts to support his allegations by a copy of a document showing that he was sentenced in Florida “in his own and proper person” to a term of 2 years on October 4, 1960. No other facts are alleged, nor is any evidence offered concerning the Texas conviction. The latter allegations are purely conclusions and unsupported by any facts.
