Task: songer_habeas

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine whether the case was an appeal of a decision by the district court on a petition for habeas corpus. A state habeas corpus case is one in which a state inmate has petitioned the federal courts.

PER CURIAM.
Dominguez was notified that the court was considering summary affirmance and afforded an opportunity to oppose such disposition by filing a memorandum addressing the merits of the cause. He has submitted a brief, filed-at the time of docketing, and a supplemental pleading since then. Examination of the file and records in this case prompts the conclusion that the questions presented are so unsubstantial as not to warrant further argument.
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed for the reasons stated in its Memorandum and Order, 317 F.Supp. 10 (D.Kan.1970). See also Dearman v. Woodson, 429 F.2d 1288 (10th Cir., 1970).
