R. Lanier ANDERSON, III, Circuit Judge.
Appellant, Charles William Hoback, was convicted by a jury of murder in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Alabama, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He brought his petition for habeas corpus in the district court, alleging that he was denied due process and equal protection of the laws because of (1) the state court’s refusal to grant a requested continuance, and (2) the state court’s refusal to provide him investigators and expert witnesses. The district court dismissed the petition. Appellant brings this appeal.
