CURTIN, District Judge.
The instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenges the validity of petitioner’s conviction in Niagara County Court in 1971 of two violations of Section 1751(1) of the former New York Penal Law. The conviction, resulted from a verdict of guilty rendered by a jury in a nine-day trial and led to the imposition of a sentence of seven to fifteen years imprisonment. The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, affirmed the conviction without opinion, People v. Torry, 333 N.Y.S.2d 749 (1972), and leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals was denied.
