U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 1970

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)

Counsel

James E. Stevens, Los Angeles, Cal., for appellant., David H. Blunt, Asst. Atty. Gen., Lee Johnson, Atty. Gen. State of Oregon, Salem, Or., for appellee.

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.
