PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from denial of an Arkansas prisoner's application for a writ of habeas corpus. In 1972, petitioner Sheppard was convicted in state court for possession of stolen property and was sentenced as an habitual offender to 25 years in the penitentiary. No appeal was taken. Sheppard then filed a state post-conviction proceeding. This was denied and the denial was affirmed on appeal. Sheppard v. State, 498 S.W.2d 668
