State v. Travis

Opinion of the Court

OPINION

WOOD, Judge.

Defendant appeals from a denial of post-conviction relief under § 21-1-1(93) N.M.S.A.1953. He asserts that the trial court erred in failing to give him a hearing on one of the claims asserted in his motion. Generally speaking, that claim asserts that the sentence imposed upon him as an habitual offender is constitutionally defective because enhanced sentences have not been imposed upon certain other defendants.

With the exception of dates and the District Attorney referred to, the specific claim made is identical to the claim made in State v. Baldonado, 79 N.M. 175, 441 P.2d 215 (Ct.App. 1968). There, we held the claim did not provide a basis for post-conviction relief. Baldonado is applicable here; accordingly, the trial court did not err in denying the motion without a hearing.

The order denying relief is affirmed.

It is so ordered.

SPIESS, C. J., and ARMIJO, J., concur.
