Allen G. Rader prosecutes this appeal from the judgment entered by Chief Judge Miller which denied Rader’s motion to vacate a sentence of five years imprisonment entered against him upon his plea of guilty to the second count оf an information filed in the Western District of Arkansas. He was charged in the count with violating 18 U.S.C. § 500 in that with intent to defraud he did pass, utter and publish as true the forged money order set out in Count One of thе information knowing the same to have been forged. The mоtion denied was the third in a series of attempts by the appellant to have the court modify the sentences imposed on his plea of guilty to the charges contained in five separate informations. The complete history оf the proceedings appear in the three carefully prepared opinions of the same judge publishеd at United States v. Nelson, D.C., 172 F.Supp 83; D.C.,
*453 Judge Miller observed as to that contention:
“Rader raised this samе argument on June 18, 1958, when he was originally before the court. He subsequently had six weeks in which to discuss a defense based on this type argument with his attorney. However, when he was arraigned uрon this count on August 1, 1958, he entered a plea of guilty to having ‘рassed, uttered and published as true’ the money order in questiоn. This plea of guilty has the same force and effect as a conviction by a jury.”185 F.Supp. 224 , 230.
Judge Miller also observed:
“In this regard it should be noted, however, that it is not necessary in establishing a ‘passing,’ as that term is used in relаtion to forgery, to allege or prove that money,’ оr anything of value, was actually received in exchangе for the forged instrument. In other words, it is not necessary that the оfferee actually accept the instrument. Merely offering or giving it with intent to defraud is sufficient to constitute a passing. See Paul v. United States, 3 Cir., 1935,79 F.2d 561 ; United States v. Mitchell, 26 Fed.Cas.No. 15,787, p. 1276; 2 Whartоn, Criminal Law, Sec. 915.”
The appellant sought relief beforе Chief Judge Miller under Rule 35, Federal Rules Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C.A., “to correct an illegal sentence”, but as the judge pointеd out the object of the motion presented was not to correct but to avoid the sentence which can not be done under Rule 35. It may be done in a proper cаse under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255. The files and records of this case disclose clearly that at the time the sentence was imposed, thе court was vested with jurisdiction; the sentence was within the limits authorized by law; there was no denial of defendant’s constitutional rights and no other infirmities that would render the judgment vulnerable to attack. We are -in- accord with the opinion of Chief Judgе Miller and deem the appeal to be without merit. The judgment appealed from is in all respects free from error and it is affirmed.
