PER CURIAM.


This cause has been heard and considered on appeal by two convicts from the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by them.

Having duly considered the briefs and oral arguments and the record in the cause, conclusion has been reached that the dismissal of the petition for writ of habeas corpus by the district court was correct, for the reasons stated by United States District Judge Thornton in his carefully prepared and detailed opinion.

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
