State ex rel. Salisberry v. Henderson

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State ex rel. Salisberry v. Henderson, 259 La. 796 (La. 1971)
253 So. 2d 62; 1971 La. LEXIS 3976
Sanders, Writ

State ex rel. Salisberry v. Henderson

Opinion of the Court

In re: Joseph Salisberry, applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and habeas corpus.

Writ denied. Although the’ petitioner’s retained counsel may have neglected to perfect an appeal, this does not amount to State action depriving him of the effective assistance of counsel and thus presents no valid claim of unconstitutional denial of right. Cf., Beto v. Martin, 396 F.2d 432 (5 Cir. 1968).

SANDERS, J., concurs in the denial of the writ.
