The United States of America v. Martin Chavez Lopez
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided May 10, 1974 · Brown, Godbold, Per Curiam, Roney
493 F.2d 1228; 1974 U.S. App. LEXIS 8680 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

The United States of America v. Martin Chavez Lopez

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Treating this as an allowance by the Court of an out-of-time direct appeal (and not a § 2255 collateral attack), we hold that since the very same action by the Trial Court in this very same trial was held to be error as to his eodefend-ant Garza in United States v. Garza, 5 Cir., 1970, 426 F.2d 949, 953-955, reversal and remand for a new trial is likewise called for as to Lopez.

Reversed and remanded.
