Linkletter v. State ex rel. Henderson
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided May 24, 1973 · Barham
277 So. 2d 672; 1973 La. LEXIS 5726 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Linkletter v. State ex rel. Henderson

Opinion of the Court

In re: Victor Linkletter and Billy Jack Morris applying for writ of certiorari and habeas corpus.

Granted. The trial court is ordered to grant an extension of time for perfecting bills of exceptions; the trial court has such power because this is a post-conviction remedy.

Concurring Opinion

BARHAM, J.,

concurs, being of the opinion that the trial judge could extend the time for filing bills of exceptions until the appeal was actually lodged here. His authority was retained even without a ha-beas proceeding. See Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 916.
