1Opinion of the Court
BRIGHT, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal, Raymond B. Chavez, an indigent Nebraska state prisoner, seeks through habeas corpus to obtain a transcript of the proceedings in state court which resulted in his conviction upon a guilty plea. The federal district court dismissed the petition for failure to exhaust state remedies as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b). Chavez v. Sigler, 320 F.Supp. 105 (D.Neb.1970). Petitioner Chavez prosecutes this appeal, contending that he has been unconstitutionally denied a transcript of his state court proceedings solely because of his inability to pay for such records.
