Robert G. Lemaster v. O. B. Ellis, General Manager, Texas Prison System
Opinion
This is an attempt to appeal from an order refusing to issue the writ of habe-as corpus as prayed for by a prisoner seeking release from State custody where he is held pursuant to State process. The district judge permitted the appeal in forma pauperis, but declined to issue a certificate of probable cause.
*303 Upon our examination of the record to determine whether such a certificate should be issued and the appeal allowed, we find that the contentions made are without merit. We, therefore, decline to issue a certificate of probable cause, and accordingly dismiss the appeal.
Dismissed.
