Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, MORGAN and INGRAHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


This is an appeal1  by a state prisoner from denial by the district court of his petition for habeas corpus. Following a full hearing, the district court made full and complete findings of fact and concluded that appellant had failed to establish any basis for a collateral attack on his judgment of conviction and sentence by the state court. These findings cannot be said to be clearly erroneous in light of the support for them found both at the district court trial and the state record.

The judgment is

Affirmed.
