State ex rel. Baptiste v. Henderson

Opinion of the Court

In re: Henry Baptiste applying for writ of habeas corpus.

Application denied. The showing made does not justify the exercise of our jurisdiction.

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ is properly denied. There is no allegation that an appeal would have resulted in a reversal of the conviction, McGarry v. Fogliana, 9 Cir., 370 F.2d 42.

BARHAM, J., is of the opinion an evidentiary hearing is warranted.
