WOODLEY, Judge.

This is a collateral attack by habeas ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍corpus upon the judgment rendered in a trial before the court on a plea ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍of guilty, the contention being that the stipulated evidence together with relator’s confession was not ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍sufficient to show his guilt.

Under our holding in Ex parte Lyles, 323 S.W.2d 950, the ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍question is not one which may be raised collaterally in a habeas corpus proceeding.

The ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍application for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed.
