FAIRCHILD, Senior Circuit Judge:

Robert Copeland Bishop is serving a mandatory life sentence in Georgia after being convicted of malice murder. After exhausting his state remedies, he filed a petition for habeas corpus in federal court. He appeals the district court's dismissal of that petition. His appeal raises the question whether the state introduced enough evidence to prove that his actions were the proximate cause of the death of the victim.
