OPINION OF THE COURT
BIGGS, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from the district court’s dismissal without a hearing of the relator-appellant’s, Geisler’s, application for habeas corpus. The district court ruled that Geisler had failed to exhaust his state remedies. The instant appeal followed. Its disposition requires our examination of the complicated history of Geisler’s various motions and petitions and a determination of whether he has either exhausted his state remedies or been victimized by circumstances rendering those remedies ineffective. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b).
