Leander Bledsoe v. Louis S. Nelson, Warden
Leander Bledsoe v. Louis S. Nelson, Warden
Opinion
This is an appeal from the denial of a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus brought by a state prisoner convicted of murder (Cf. People v. Bledsoe, 252 Cal.App.2d 727, 60 Cal.Rptr. 703 (1964)).
Each of the four grounds urged on appeal were carefully considered and ruled upon by the Honorable E. Avery Crary, United States District Court Judge (C.T. 80-89), adversely to appellant. Appellant’s alleged incriminating statements, if incriminating, and if violative of Massiah v. United States, 377 U.S. 201, 84 S.Ct. 1199, 12 L.Ed.2d 246 (1964), were harmless error in view of the nature and extent of the evidence of defendant's guilt presented before the jury. Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 87 S.Ct. 824, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967); Harrington v. California, 395 U.S. 250, 89 S.Ct. 1726, 23 L.Ed.2d 284 (1969).
We refer to and incorporate Judge Crary’s Memorandum Opinion and Order denying relief as our own, and Affirm.
