Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.
Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, and DYER and SIMPSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
[1] Luna’s sole complaint on appeal is that he was denied a fair trial in the Texas state court as evidenced by an affidavit of one juror which impeached his own verdict. [2] We agree with the district court that “the case fits within the well-settled general rule that a juror will not be heard to impeach his own verdict.” Cunningham v. United States, 5 Cir. 1966, 356 F.2d 454. [3] Affirmed.
