Opinion

No. 71-1565.

June 23, 1971. Rehearing Denied August 13, 1971.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada; Bruce R. Thompson, Judge.

James Scherer, in pro. per.

Robert Lisst, Atty. Gen., Carson City, Nev., for appellee.

Before CHAMBERS, CARTER and WRIGHT, Circuit Judges.


The district court orders which are sought to be overturned here are affirmed.

The defendant is serving a state sentence after conviction of murder. No state appeal was taken.

There was no exhaustion or even a sustained pursuit of state remedies. The record belies his contention that access to the state courts was frustrated.
