Before THORNBERRY, GOLDBERG and RONEY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
After petitioner, Paul Albert Patterson, served his time and paid his fine for his 1963 federal conviction based on an indictment charging him with depositing in the mails a letter containing obscene, lewd, lascivious and indecent photographs, he applied for a writ in the nature of coram nobis to the District Court. The District Judge denied relief.
We have found the recent Supreme Court cases do not mandate a different result. Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 93 S. Ct. 2607, 37 L. Ed. 2d 419 (1973); Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U.S. 49, 93 S. Ct. 2628, 37 L. Ed. 2d 446 (1973); United States v. Orito, 413 U.S. 139, 93 S. Ct. 2674, 37 L. Ed. 2d 513 (1973); Kaplan v. California, 413 U.S. 115, 93 S. Ct. 2680, 37 L. Ed. 2d 492 (1973); United States v. 12 200 Ft. Reels of Super 8mm Film, 413 U.S. 123, 93 S. Ct. 2665, 37 L. Ed. 2d 500 (1973).
Affirmed.
