What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to identify the issue in the case, that is, the social and/or political context of the litigation in which more purely legal issues are argued. Put somewhat differently, this field identifies the nature of the conflict between the litigants. The focus here is on the subject matter of the controversy rather than its legal basis.
Your task is to determine the specific issue in the case within the broad category of "criminal".

Opinion:
UNITED STATES of America ex rel. Milton BOWERS, Appellant, v. A. T. RUNDLE, Superintendent, State Correctional Institution, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
No. 15560.
United States Court of Appeals Third Circuit.
Submitted April 14, 1966.
Decided May 11, 1966.
Rehearing Denied June 16, 1966.
Milton Bowers, pro se.
Abner H. Silver, Asst. Dist. Atty., Joseph M. Smith, Asst. Dist. Atty., Chief, Appeals Div., F. Emmett Fitzpatrick, Jr., First Asst. Dist. Atty., James C. Crumlish, Jr., Dist. Atty., Philadelphia, Pa., for appellee.
Before McLAUGHLIN, HASTIE and FREEDMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
With respect to the first of appellant’s contentions which concerns the failure at trial to move to suppress allegedly illegally seized evidence, we agree with the District Court that, under the circumstances of this case, Pennsylvania law governs appellant’s right to attack his conviction under Bill No. 1664. Fay v. Noia, 372 U.S. 391, 438, 439, 83 S.Ct. 822, 9 L.Ed.2d 837 (1963); Henry v. State of Mississippi, 379 U.S. 443, 85 S.Ct. 564, 13 L.Ed.2d 408 (1965).
The District Court correctly found that the specific claim of alleged ineffective assistance of counsel was never directly presented to the state courts. However, in order that no possible misunderstanding regarding this might arise and based on our own examination of the record before us, we find no substantial support for the assertion.
Finally, there was no abuse of discretion by the District Court in this matter.
The judgment of the District Court will be affirmed.
