Gary L. Jones v. William A. Anderson, Sheriff, Etc., Etc.
Gary L. JONES, Petitioner-Appellant, v. William A. ANDERSON, Sheriff, Etc., Et Al., Etc., Respondents-Appellees
Opinion
PER CURIAM:
The sole issue presented in this appeal from the denial of habeas relief to a state prisoner is whether there was a violation of appellant’s Fifth Amendment right against double jeopardy in the state trial court. This issue was decided adversely to appellant by the Supreme Court of Georgia on his direct appeal in a comprehensive opinion on the subject.
Jones v. State, 1974, 232 Ga. 324 , 206 S.E.2d 481 . The district court rendered a thorough opinion in denying relief.
Jones v. Anderson, S.D.Ga. 1974, 404 F.Supp. 182 .
See also Smith v. State of Mississippi, 5 Cir., 1973, 478 F.2d 88 .
After oral argument and our own consideration of the record and appertaining law, we find no error.
Affirmed.
