Walter Henry Blackwell, pro se.

Before GEWIN, GOLDBERG and DYER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
This is an appeal from the district court's denial of habeas corpus relief to a federal prisoner who is serving a sentence in the United States Penitentiary at Atlanta.  He contends that he is entitled to be given credit on his present sentence for time which he served under a prior unrelated federal sentence which has been vacated.

2
We recently rejected a similar contention in Davis v. United States Attorney General, 5 Cir. 1970, 432 F.2d 777.  On Authority of the Davis decision, the order appealed from in this case should be and is hereby affirmed.
