Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
ESCHBACH, Senior Circuit Judge.
This case presents an appeal from a district court’s denial on summary judgment of a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The only grounds alleged in support of the request for the writ are that unnecessarily and unduly suggestive pretrial confrontations tainted the two trial identifications of the petitioner, Joseph Kosik, and made those identifications so unreliable that their admission violated Kosik’s Fourteenth Amendment right to procedural due process. For the reasons stated below, we reject that contention and will affirm the district court.
