OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM.

This appellant is a state prisoner serving a term of 15 to 25 years in prison pursuant to a conviction of murder on his plea of nolo contendere. He now seeks relief by federal habeas corpus.

The district court analyzed each of the prisoner's contentions and denied habeas corpus in a carefully reasoned, very detailed and sound opinion with which we agree.

The judgment will be affirmed.
