United States First Circuit

In this case, petitioner was found guilty of armed robbery and armed burglary, and the state trial judge found him to be a habitual offender. Petitioner was thereafter sentenced to life in prison. Petitioner sought federal habeas relief, alleging violations of his due process rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Judgment of the federal district court denying petitioner's habeas petition is affirmed, where petitioner has failed to establish that he suffers illegal confinement.
