State ex rel. Fonseca v. Phelps

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State ex rel. Fonseca v. Phelps, 326 So. 2d 372 (La. 1976)
1976 La. LEXIS 4772

State ex rel. Fonseca v. Phelps

Opinion of the Court

In re: Saul Fonseca and Leoncio Castillo applying for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Writ Denied. The alleged trial error in opening statement is not reviewable by post-conviction proceedings. With regard to the alleged unconstitutional search, we are unable to say from the conclusory allegations of the application that the issues raised were not decided by the direct appeal. See State v. Smith, 283 So.2d 470 (La. 1973).
