As a general rule, the federal writ of habeas corpus will not extend to one awaiting trial 1

unless special circumstances exist such that there is an absence of state processes effective to protect

a federal right. See Ex Parte Royall, 117 U.S. 241, 245-254 (1886); Fay v. Noia, 372 U .S. 391, 420

(1963), overruled in part by Wainwright v. Sykes, 433 U.S. 72 (1977) and Coleman v. Thompson,

501 U.S. 722 (1991). Petitioner does not allege an absence of state processes.
