Ruben P. Chavez, and v. Walter Craven, Warden
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided July 8, 1970 · Chambers, Trask, Plummer
428 F.2d 185; 1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 8277 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Ruben P. Chavez, and v. Walter Craven, Warden

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The order denying habeas corpus relief on a state conviction is affirmed.

In our view, before we consider whether counsel was ineffective in not seeking a hearing in the California Supreme Court (such a hearing being discretionary with that court), Chavez should show a federal court that he had a point of real substance which was lost. We cannot find it.
