Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas; William M. Taylor, Jr., Judge.

PER CURIAM:


This habeas corpus proceeding involving a state prisoner raises evidentiary procedural matters which do not rise to the level of substantial federal constitutional questions. The district court was therefore correct in denying relief.

Affirmed.
