William Thomas Harper v. State of Missouri
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
William Thomas Harper v. State of Missouri, 395 F.2d 769 (5th Cir. 1968)
1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 6526
William Thomas Harper v. State of Missouri
Opinion
Appellant, who is serving a sentence in a federal prison, seeks relief relative to a criminal charge and detainer lodged against him by the State of Missouri. He contends that the state has denied him his right to a speedy trial by not prosecuting him in state court through issuance of a writ of habeas corpus ad prose-quendum to the Federal prison. We recently affirmed a district court’s denial of relief in a similar case. Henderson v. Circuit Court, 5th Cir. 1968, 392 F.2d 551. For the reasons there stated, the judgment is affirmed.
