The following excerpt is from Boyden v. Webb, 208 F.2d 201 (9th Cir. 1953):
Where, as here, the application for the writ and the facts as found by the state court show that a prisoner is entitled to no relief in a federal habeas corpus proceeding, there is no need for the district court to hold a plenary hearing. Brown v. Allen, supra; 28 U.S.C. 2243.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
