Opinion
This is an appeal from an order dismissing an application for a writ of habeas corpus. Appellant is imprisoned under the judgment of a Virginia state court and his petition sets forth no ground which would justify a federal court in interfering with that imprisonment. The appeal to this court is not accompanied by the certificate of probable cause required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253 and we are accordingly without jurisdiction to entertain it.
Appeal dismissed.
