Joseph Cost v. Ira M. Coiner, Warden of the West Virginia State Penitentiary, Successor to Otto C. Boles

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

We find the record supports the findings and conclusions of the District Court that, at the petitioner’s arraignment in a state court in 1962, he understood that the court would appoint a lawyer for him if he could not afford it, and that his waiver of counsel was intelligent and voluntary.

Denial of the writ of habeas corpus is affirmed.

Affirmed.
