Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant, who is serving a sentence in a federal prison, seeks relief relative to a criminal charge and detainer lodged against him by the State of Missouri. He contends that the state has denied him his right to a speedy trial by not prosecuting him in state court through issuance of a writ of habeas corpus ad prose-quendum to the Federal prison. We recently affirmed a district court’s denial of relief in a similar case. Henderson v. Circuit Court, 5th Cir. 1968, 392 F.2d 551. For the reasons there stated, the judgment is affirmed.
