Auger v. Swenson

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER DENYING HABEAS CORPUS

JOHN W. OLIVER, District Judge.

This State prisoner habeas corpus proceeding was filed immediately after the Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed petitioner’s second degree burglary and stealing conviction on direct appeal in State v. Auger, Sup.Ct. of Mo.Div. 2, 1968, 434 S.W.2d 1. The parties stipulated that petitioner had exhausted his available state court remedies in regard to federal claims ruled on the merits by the Supreme Court of Missouri on its direct appeal. We deny habeas corpus for reasons we shall state.
