 ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION RELIEF
 This matter comes on to be heard on the application of Willie
Gibson, Jr., for Post-Conviction Relief and the motion of the
State to dismiss.
 The Court having read said application and motion to dismiss
and having reviewed the files in this case and having read the
opinions of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals in Gibson v.
Page, 438 P.2d 500, and in Gibson v. Page, 449 P.2d 711, and
being fully informed in the facts and in the law, on
consideration thereof
 Finds:
 1. The grounds for relief which the defendant now seeks to
raise, were known to him from the date of his trial on November
13, 1963, and could have been asserted in his prior petitions for
habeas corpus or post-conviction appeal.
 2. The remark alleged to have been made by Judge W. Lee
Johnson, if it was in fact made, in no way deprived the defendant
of any constitutional right or affected the verdict of the jury
in finding the defendant guilty of Murder or in the punishment
assessed.
 3. The defendant was represented by private counsel throughout
the proceedings. He was advised of his right to appeal after he
was sentenced by the Court, and failed to take any steps to
perfect an appeal.
 The Court therefore concludes that the defendant was afforded
due process of law and that his application for Post-Conviction
Relief is without merit and should be denied and dismissed.
 It is therefore ordered and adjudged that the application of
Willie Gibson, Jr., for Post-Conviction Relief be, and the same
hereby is denied and said application is dismissed.
 Done in open court this 13th day of October, 1971.
