1978 La. LEXIS 7101
Dixon, Grant, Writ

State v. Bagley

Opinion of the Court

In re: David L. Bagley, applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus. Parish of DeSoto.

*1383Writ denied. The ruling of the trial judge is correct. In the event of conviction, relator cannot be subjected to imprisonment based upon previous uncounselled convictions. Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 U.S. 25, 92 S.Ct. 2006, 32 L.Ed.2d 530 (1972). Hence, this prosecution does not expose relator to the threat of imprisonment without the assistance of counsel.

DIXON, J., would grant the writ.
