1Opinion of the Court
J. SPENCER BELL, Circuit Judge.
Midgett appeals from an order of the district court refusing a plenary hearing on his application for a writ of habeas corpus. A number of grounds set forth in the petition were rejected by the court on the basis of the records in various state court proceedings; others were rejected upon the ground that the petitioner had not exhausted his remedies under Maryland’s Post Conviction Procedure Act [hereinafter PCPA]. 1 We are in accord with the district judge’s ruling and will discuss seriatim the questions raised on appeal by petitioner’s very able counsel.
