E. J. Corum v. Jacob B. Gunn, Warden
E. J. CORUM, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Jacob B. GUNN, Warden, Respondent-Appellee
Opinion
PER CURIAM:
Petitioner, a prisoner in state custody, appeals from the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. This Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 .
The issue raised by petitioner, that he was denied effective assistance of counsel at his 1963 conviction for kidnapping, was fully litigated at a state court hearing in 1971 when petitioner sought to strike his 1963 conviction as a prior offense. The state court determined that issue against petitioner, and the district court properly presumed that finding to be valid. 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (d);
Hill v. Nelson, 466 F.2d 1346 (9th Cir. 1972).
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
