BUFORD, Justice.
This is an appeal by appellant in habeas corpus proceedings wherein petition was filed in the Circuit Court in and íor Alachua County after appellant was convicted on a plea of guilty to an information charging incest in the Criminal Court of Record of Hillsborough County, Florida.

It is so ordered.
Affirmed.
