Oakie Blankenship v. W. K. Cunningham, Jr., Superintendent of the Virginia State Penitentiary

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit November 10, 1961

Oakie Blankenship v. W. K. Cunningham, Jr., Superintendent of the Virginia State Penitentiary, 296 F.2d 604 (4th Cir. 1961)

Sobeloff, Boreman, Michie

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This appeal from the refusal of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to grant a plenary hearing to the appellant on his petition for a writ of habeas corpus raises substantially the same issue as the first issue discussed in the case of McGrady v. Cunningham, 4 Cir., 296 F.2d 600.

The issue being the same, the decision must be the same as in the McGrady case and we see no reason to discuss the issue again. The action of the District Court must be affirmed.

Affirmed.
