Tony Giamo, Petitioner-appellant, v. E. Wilson Purdy, As Sheriff of Dade County, Florida,respondent-appellee, 465 F.2d 994 (5th Cir. 1972)

This appeal is taken from the district court's order of dismissal of Giamo's petition for habeas corpus attacking a five year sentence imposed by the Florida courts after a jury verdict of guilty for the crime of bribery. The opinionorder of the trial court is reported as Giamo v. Purdy, S.D. Fla. 1972, 346 F. Supp. 1.

The petitioner-appellant has failed to demonstrate error in the trial court's disposition of the two grounds of attack upon the state court conviction: (1) the introduction of proof of similar acts to the crime charged, prior and subsequent to the date of the crime charged, resulting in his not being convicted of a specific crime and thereby deprived of due process of law; and (2) comments by the state prosecutor in his closing argument to the jury alleged to be so prejudicial as to deprive the petitioner of a fair trial.

The judgment appealed from is

Affirmed.
