Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The record leaves in no doubt that appellant’s petition attacks the judgment under which he was convicted and is serving sentence not upon jurisdictional grounds but upon the ground that the evidence upon which it was rendered did not support it. A writ of habeas corpus cannot try the sufficiency of the evidence to support a judgment of conviction. The district judge was right in dismissing the application. His judgment is affirmed.
