PER CURIAM.

The appellant, Pedro Anthony Perez, Jr., was convicted on the trial for one offense and entered a plea of guilty of another.

The district court denied the motion. The objection, if it be a valid one, can be availed of only before trial. It cannot be asserted in a proceeding under Section 2255.
