State ex rel. Lee v. Phelps
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided May 4, 1979 · Calogero, Dennis, Dixon, Grant, Writ
370 So. 2d 573; 1979 La. LEXIS 5624 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Lee v. Phelps

Opinion of the Court

In re: George Henry Lee applying for Writ of Mandamus, Parish of Madison (Number not known).

Writ denied.

DIXON, J.,

would grant. This court, without any reason, denies an indigent inmate a copy of a transcript (already prepared) of an evidentiary hearing of a post-conviction hearing because he cannot pay $15 (as “handling and mailing”). The applicant should now apply to the U.S. District Court for relief.

CALOGERO and DENNIS, JJ., would grant the writ.
