OPINION

BUA, District Judge.

Sam Gayden ("Gayden") has filed a habeas corpus petition against Kenneth McGinnis, Warden of Stateville Correctional Center ("McGinnis") and others. Gayden advances two grounds for relief:

1) The admission of a preliminary hearing transcript violated Gayden's right to confront the witness; and

2) The State did not prove Gayden guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.1
