U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided August 20, 1976 · Brown, Gew-In, Morgan, Per Curiam
537 F.2d 238 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

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.
