Opinion
No. 72-3282. Summary Calendar.
Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Company of New York et al., 5 Cir. 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.
February 26, 1973.
William T. Armstrong, Staff Atty., Staff Counsel for Inmates, Texas Dept. of Corrections, Weldon, Tex., for petitioner-appellant.
Crawford Martin, Atty. Gen., Austin, Tex., for respondent-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.
Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, and DYER and SIMPSON, Circuit Judges.
Luna's sole complaint on appeal is that he was denied a fair trial in the Texas state court as evidenced by an affidavit of one juror which impeached his own verdict.
We agree with the district court that "the case fits within the well-settled general rule that a juror will not be heard to impeach his own verdict." Cunningham v. United States, 5 Cir. 1966, 356 F.2d 454.
Affirmed.
