Verle L. Penney v. Clarence T. Gladden
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided April 17, 1970 · Chambers, Merrill, Carter
423 F.2d 1228; 1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 9729 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Verle L. Penney v. Clarence T. Gladden

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The denial of habeas corpus relief by the district court is affirmed.

The refusal of the state trial judge to require disclosure of the name of an informer (a non-participating one) appears under the circumstances to have been within its sound discretion. Further, the point does not rise to constitutional proportions here.
