W. B. Hogan v. W. J. Estelle, Jr., Director, Texas Department of Corrections

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
W. B. Hogan v. W. J. Estelle, Jr., Director, Texas Department of Corrections, 537 F.2d 238 (5th Cir. 1976)
Brown, Gew-In, Morgan, Per Curiam

W. B. Hogan v. W. J. Estelle, Jr., Director, Texas Department of Corrections

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

We have considered Hogan’s contentions, including his assertion of ineffectiveness of trial and appellate counsel, and his argument as well as his assertion that his consti-' tutional rights were abridged by the appointment of a psychologist, requested by the defense, rather than a psychiatrist to examine him for mental competency. We find all these contentions without merit and affirm on the basis of the district court’s opinion, 417 F.Supp. 9 (N.D.Tex. 1976).

AFFIRMED.
