William Thomas Harper v. State of Missouri
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided June 14, 1968 · Thornberry, Simpson, Suttle
395 F.2d 769; 1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 6526 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

William Thomas Harper v. State of Missouri

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

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.
