1Opinion of the Court
LIVELY, Circuit Judge.
The petitioner Charles Edward Jenkins appeals from the district court’s denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner seeks release from the Kentucky State Penitentiary where he is serving two consecutive life sentences following his convictions of murder and armed robbery. He contends that the proceedings in the state court which resulted in the two convictions were fundamentally unfair, denying him rights guaranteed by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. We affirm the judgment of the district court.
