Opinion
We have considered Hogan’s contentions, including his assertion of ineffectiveness of trial and appellate counsel, and his argument as well as his assertion that his consti-' tutional rights were abridged by the appointment of a psychologist, requested by the defense, rather than a psychiatrist to examine him for mental competency. We find all these contentions without merit and affirm on the basis of the district court’s opinion, 417 F.Supp. 9 (N.D.Tex.1976).
AFFIRMED.
