Description
Habeas corpus petitioner, Stepp, is presently serving shorter State of Texas concurrent sentences which the district court and we found to be valid. Hence, the district judge and this court declined to consider Stepps attack on a concurrent life sentence which was imposed upon him after a conviction for robbery by firearms in Denton County, Texas, in December, 1961, under the authority of McNally v. Hill, 293 U.S. 131, 55 S. Ct. 24, 79 L. Ed. 238 (1934), and upon the basis that the Great Writ was not available to "one who is properly in custody under a sentence other than the one attacked."
