CALLISTER, Chief Justice.

¶1Plaintiff petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. Plaintiff has been convicted twice of murder in the first degree; after his first trial, he appealed to this court, and this court reversed and remanded the case for a new trial.1 Upon retrial, plaintiff was-again convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment; he appealed to this court, where he raised the identical issues currently asserted in his petition.2 Plaintiff may not under the guise of this petition have a second opportunity to litigate the same issues.3 The petition is denied.
