¶1*783Dorothy E. Binder, Denver, Colo., for appellant.

¶2Walter L. Budge, Asst. Atty. Gen., State of Utah (E. R. Callister, Atty. Gen., State of Utah, on the brief), for appellee.

¶3Before PHILLIPS, MURRAH and LEWIS, Circuit Judges.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5This is an appeal from an order denying a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Johnson, the applicant for the writ, sought discharge from confinement in the Utah State Prison, under a judgment of conviction for the offense of murder by a state court of Utah.

¶6The only allegation in the petition, with respect to the exhaustion by Johnson of his remedies in the state courts of Utah, reads as follows: “Petitioner .claims that he has exhausted remedy in the courts of the State of Utah.”

¶7At the oral argument it was conceded that Johnson had not filed a petition for • certiorari in the Supreme Court of the United States, seeking review of any decision by a Utah court.

¶8We conclude that there was no sufficient allegation or showing that Johnson had exhausted his state remedies.1

¶9It follows that the order below must :be and it is affirmed.
