JERRE S. WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge:
Fred Douglas Mills, an inmate in the custody of the Texas Department of Corrections, seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 from a fifty year sentence for aggravated robbery. Mills claims that his Sixth Amendment rights were violated when the state district judge allowed his trial to proceed with only eleven jurors. Finding no constitutional infirmity in the Texas procedure, we deny Mills' application for habeas relief.
