1Opinion of the Court
JOHNSON, District Judge.
This is a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by Robert Guy Smith, a prisoner in the United States Penitentiary, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, alleging that “his constitutional right to legal representation” had been denied him, and that, having been surrendered by Federal authorities for sentence by a state court, he cannot now be held to be legally serving a Federal sentence. He then makes the somewhat inconsistent allegation that the lodging of a state detainer is a violation of his rights and that both the state and Federal sentences must be set aside.
