W. B. HOGAN, Petitioner-Appellant, v. W. J. ESTELLE, Jr., Director, Texas Department of Corrections, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 75-2341
    Summary Calendar.
    
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Aug. 20, 1976.
    Ann Lents, Houston, Tex. (court-appointed), for petitioner-appellant.
    Jack B. Boone, Asst. Atty. Gen., Austin, Tex., for respondent-appellee.
    Before BROWN, Chief Judge, and GEW-IN and MORGAN, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       Rule 18, 5th Cir., Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Company of New York et al., 5 Cir. 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.
    
   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.
