Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The appellant seeks reversal of an order granting a writ of habeas corpus.

The district court held that the ap-pellee’s confession was involuntary and that the appellee’s signature on a confederate’s confession was also involuntary.

After a review of the briefs and the record, and a study of the authorities cited by counsel, this court adopts the opinion of the trial court * insofar as it deals with the question raised by this appeal.

Affirmed.

Oaks v. Patterson, 278 F.Supp. 703 (D. Colo. 1968).
