William F. McKnight v. Howard M. Comstock, Supt. S.C.C., Henry W. Kerr, Chrm. Adult Auth.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The denial of McKnight’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus is affirmed for the reasons given in the district court’s order of March 25, 1970. See also Ellhamer v. Wilson, 9 Cir., 1971, 445 F.2d 856 (July 7, 1971), reversing a district court decision on which McKnight relies. Denial of the petition without an evidentiary hearing was not error, since there are no disputed facts.

Affirmed.
