United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided February 26, 1992.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David P. Silk with whom Curtis Thaxter Stevens Broder & Micoleau was on brief, Portland, Me., for petitioner, appellant.

Before BREYER, Chief Judge, BOWNES, Senior Circuit Judge, and SELYA, Circuit Judge.

BOWNES, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petitioner Bruce D. Wellman appeals the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for habeas corpus. The main issue is whether the State of Maine violated petitioner's constitutional rights by eliminating pretrial detention time as a credit against his sentence which it had previously granted him. For the reasons that follow, we find that there was no constitutional violation and affirm the judgment below.
