Cousineau v. Warden
Nevada Supreme Court
Cousineau v. Warden, 87 Nev. 254 (Nev. 1971)
484 P.2d 1098; 1971 Nev. LEXIS 402
Cousineau v. Warden
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
This appeal presents a single issue: Should the ruling of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969), be applied retroactively? This question has, of course, been answered in the negative by this court. Mathis v. Warden, 86 Nev. 439, 471 P.2d 233 (1970); Stocks v. Warden, 86 Nev. 758, 476 P.2d 469 (1970). Appellant concedes as much and, indeed, in the
This case thus clearly presents a frivolous appeal and could easily have been disposed of under Sanchez v. State, 85 Nev. 95, 450 P.2d 793 (1969), and Watkins v. State, 85 Nev. 102, 450 P.2d 795 (1969). Because this course was not followed, as in Watkins, we merely affirm the trial court.
Affirmed.
