246 So. 2d 194; 1971 La. LEXIS 4549

Barham, Hearing, Summers, Warranted

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.
