1Opinion of the Court
RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Harry Gomez was convicted in Illinois state court of armed robbery and murder. Mr. Gomez filed a petition in federal district court for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The district court denied Mr. Gomez’s petition for the writ. It determined that it was not necessary to hold an evidentiary hearing on the validity of Mr. Gomez’s waiver of conflict-free defense counsel or on Mr. Gomez’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Mr. Gomez now appeals. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the district court’s denial of the petition.
