Nancy Lee Richards v. Jackie Townsend
Nancy Lee Richards v. Jackie Townsend
444 F.2d 528; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 9444
(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
Nancy Lee Richards v. Jackie Townsend
Opinion
We agree with the District Court that in order to afford appellee an effective and meaningful review on appeal the State of California must either furnish her with a transcript of her trial proceedings or grant her a new trial. That portion of the order, however, requiring the presence of an official reporter at any retrial is stricken.
The order of the District Court granting habeas corpus relief is affirmed as modified.
