_ PALMORE, Judge.'
This is a habeas corpus proceeding in which the appellant, a prisoner in the Kentucky State Penitentiary, seeks to set aside on constitutional grounds the judgment of conviction pursuant to which he is imprisoned. In the absence of a showing that the remedy by motion under RCr 11.42 is inadequate, his petition was properly dismissed. Ayers v. Davis, Ky., 377 S.W.2d 154.
The judgment is affirmed.'
