United States of America Ex Rel. James E. Kern v. James F. Maroney, Superintendent, State Correctional Institution, Pittsburgh, Pa

403 F.2d 205

Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit·Decided November 27, 1968·No. 17157·Published

Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying the petition of appellant, James E. Kern, for a writ of habeas corpus. Appellant contends, among other things, that the district court erred in holding that both his guilty plea and written confession were voluntary, and that his confession was properly admitted into evidence at the state court hearing to determine his degree of guilt.

We have carefully examined the entire record in this case, and we have concluded that all of appellant’s contentions lack merit.

Accordingly, the order of the district court will be affirmed.
