1Opinion of the Court
ALAN E. NORRIS, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner, Douglas Metheny, while in state custody as the result of felony convictions, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Metheny claimed that he was entitled to a writ since the state of Tennessee had violated the trial-before-return provision of Article IV(e) of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (“IAD”) by returning him to federal custody from state custody without proceeding to trial on the state charges. He appeals the denial of his petition by the district court.
