Leon B. Polsky, New York City (Anthony F. Marra, New York City, on the brief), for petitioner-appellant.

Robert D. MacLachlan, Jr., Asst. Dist. Atty., New York City (Frank S. Hogan, Dist. Atty., and H. Richard Uviller, Asst. Dist. Atty., New York City, on the brief), for respondent-appellee.

Before LUMBARD, Chief Judge, and WATERMAN and KAUFMAN, Circuit Judges.

Certiorari Denied June 17, 1968. See 88 S.Ct. 2323.

PER CURIAM:

We affirm in open court, for the reasons stated in Judge Frankel's opinion, 282 F.Supp. 754 (S.D.N.Y.1968), the denial of the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We reject the contention made by petitioner, who is awaiting trial in the state court on charges of robbery, grand larceny, assault and possession of a loaded pistol, that he has been placed in double jeopardy in violation of his Fourteenth Amendment due process rights, the state court having declared a mistrial in a prior trial on the same charges after a jury was impaneled, but before the introduction of any evidence, because the state's witnesses were unavailable after a four day continuance.

We direct that the mandate issue forthwith.
