OPINION
FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judge:
Richard Edward Stearns pled guilty to two counts of bank robbery. 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). He was sentenced and did not appeal, but about two years later he filed a petition which alleged that his attorney had failed to file a notice of appeal, as requested. 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The district court denied the petition, and Stearns appeals. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
