WEST, District Judge:
Petitioner, Melvin Ladd, is presently incarcerated in Louisiana State Penitentiary serving a two year sentence for theft. He applies to this Court for a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds that he was twice put in jeopardy for the same offense in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. He has exhausted his available State Court remedies to no avail, and hence this Court has jurisdiction to hear his case.
