Robert W. Sjosten, and v. Merle Scheckloth, Etc.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided July 7, 1971 · Chambers, Koelsch, Heydt
443 F.2d 1181; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 9114 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Robert W. Sjosten, and v. Merle Scheckloth, Etc.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The order denying habeas corpus relief is affirmed.

First, we find that Sjosten has never presented or attempted to present the point to a California state court which he makes in federal court.

Further, on the facts here, the error does not rise to constitutional dimensions. The evidence of guilt was overwhelming.
