Before BARNES and HAMLEY, Circuit Judges, and SMITH, District Judge.


RUSSELL E. SMITH, District Judge:

This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

Petitioner was convicted of robbery after trial by jury. His defense was the presumption of innocence. There was strong evidence of guilt which the jury believed, as did the state trial judge and the justices of the Supreme Court of Nevada, who heard the matter twice.
