OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM.

1

This appeal is from the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The questions raised by the petition, and argued on this appeal, relate solely to the application of the Board of Parole Act of Pennsylvania as amended, 61 P.S. 331.1 et seq. We can find no unconstitutionality in the Act as applied in the case of the appellant.

The judgment of the court below will be affirmed.
