1Opinion of the Court
ROSS, Circuit Judge.
Robert Dietz, petitioner, appeals the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner alleges that certain jury instructions given by the South Dakota trial court violated the due process clause and denied him a fair trial.
On October 31, 1975, Dietz was convicted of third degree burglary following a jury trial. Dietz appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court of South Dakota, alleging that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. The state supreme court affirmed the conviction. State v. Dietz, 264 N.W.2d 509 (S.D.1978).
