OPINION and JUDGMENT
DALTON, District Judge.
On November 11, 1971, Thomas E. Griffith pleaded not guilty to and was convicted of reckless driving in the County Court of Page County and incurred a $50 fine. He noted an appeal to the Circuit Court of Page County pursuant to Va.Code Ann. § 16.1-132. At this de novo trial on January 31, 1972, he pleaded not guilty and was tried by a jury, which convicted him of the charge and set his punishment at twelve months in jail. Griffith now petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus under the authority of 28 U.S.C. § 2241(c) (3).
