1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Circuit Judge:
Today’s decision marks the fifth post conviction judicial proceeding of record in Ardister’s anfractuous quest for ha-beas corpus relief from a twenty year sentence as a recidivist car thief. The interests of the petitioner and heavily burdened court systems, as well as the interests of comity and justice would be served best by an extra careful effort to bring this overlong and overcomplicated quest to an expeditious conclusion. Unfortunately, an erratic history and an incomplete record of recent state court proceedings prevent our writing a complete end here.
