U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided June 8, 1967 · Haynsworth, Sobeloff, Bryan
378 F.2d 1022; 1967 U.S. App. LEXIS 6073 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Gary Lee Tompa v. C. C. Peyton, Superintendent of the Virginia State Penitentiary

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This is a sequel to Tompa v. Commonwealth of Virginia, 4 Cir., 331 F.2d 552. It comes up now after a plenary hearing from findings and conclusions that Tom-pa’s representation in defending the criminal charges against him in the state court was not so deficient as to present a constitutional issue. The record lends adequate support for the District Court’s findings and conclusions, and the judgment dismissing the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is affirmed.

Affirmed.
