OPINION OF THE COURT
PER CURIAM:
This is an appeal by a state prisoner from a judgment denying him a writ of habeas corpus.
In the circumstances of this case, we rule that the taking of the appellant's fingerprints in open court, over his objection, was not a denial of fair trial or inconsistent with due process of law. No other point of substance is properly before us on this appeal.
The judgment will be affirmed.
