Opinion
This is a sequel to Tompa v. Commonwealth of Virginia, 4 Cir., 331 F.2d 552. It comes up now after a plenary hearing from findings and conclusions that Tom-pa’s representation in defending the criminal charges against him in the state court was not so deficient as to present a constitutional issue. The record lends adequate support for the District Court’s findings and conclusions, and the judgment dismissing the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is affirmed.
Affirmed.
