Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The appellant's conviction of murder was affirmed by the United States Court of Military Appeals, one judge dissenting. United States v. Day, 2 U.S.C.M.A. 416. The present appeal is from an order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.. We find nothing in the record that would have justified the District Court in issuing the writ.
Affirmed.
