Tyrone Woods v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided June 18, 1968 · Chambers, Ely, Per Curiam, Thompson
397 F.2d 156; 1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 6492 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Tyrone Woods v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Woods was convicted on one count for bank robbery, and he appeals.

He claims the teachings of Miranda v. State of Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), were not followed when he was apprehended. Taken all together, we find the record does not support Woods but supports the government.

Also, he complains of the absence of counsel when a fingerprint exemplar was taken from him. Gilbert v. State of California, 388 U.S. 263, 87 S.Ct. 1951, 18 L.Ed.2d 1178 (1967), (handwriting exemplars), clearly should apply here.

Judgment affirmed.
