1
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of record from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and was taken on submission.

2
ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is hereby AFFIRMED.

3
James Aggrey-Kweggyirr Arunga appeals pro se from the May 25, 1995, judgment dismissing a pleading he has styled a "Habeas Corpus-Reparation Complaint."   The pleading is a challenge, on various grounds, to matters occurring in the Los Angeles Superior Court in connection with the trial of People v. Simpson.

4
The pleading was properly dismissed.  The District Court in the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction to consider any aspect of the legality of matters occurring in the Los Angeles Superior Court, and the plaintiff lacks standing.
