United States ex rel. Green v. Follette

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
United States ex rel. Green v. Follette, 421 F.2d 1392 (2d Cir. 1970)

United States ex rel. Green v. Follette

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

We affirm by applying the principles set forth in United States ex rel. Rutherford v. Deegan, 406 F.2d 217 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 395 U.S. 983, 89 S.Ct. 2145, 23 L.Ed.2d 771 (1969). There is nothing in the “totality of circumstances surrounding” the identification to justify a finding that there was any “likelihood of irreparable misidentification.” Id., 406 F.2d at 220; see Stovall v. Denno, 388 U.S. 293, 301-302, 87 S.Ct. 1967, 18 L.Ed.2d 1199 (1967); accord, Simmons v. United States, 390 U.S. 377, 383, 384, 88 S.Ct. 967, 19 L.Ed.2d 1247 (1968). Since the judgment of conviction was entered on January 21, 1959, the case is governed by the holding of the Supreme Court in Stovall v. Denno, 388 U.S. 293, 87 S.Ct. 1967 (1967). There was no violation of relator’s constitutional right to due process.

Affirmed.
