John R. Hardy v. R. P. Balkcom, Jr., Warden, Georgia State Prison
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided January 31, 1966 · Gewin, Bell, Hughes
355 F.2d 544; 1966 U.S. App. LEXIS 7339 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

John R. Hardy v. R. P. Balkcom, Jr., Warden, Georgia State Prison

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The only errors presented for determination by appellant, a Georgia prisoner, to the District Court on the hearing of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus are without merit. There was no proof that he was denied counsel at any critical stage of the state court proceedings against him, nor was there any proof that Negroes were systematically excluded from the Fulton County, Georgia jury at the time of his trial.

Affirmed.
