Thomas Serrano, and v. Carl Hocker, Warden, Nevada State Prison, and the State of Nevada

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Thomas Serrano, and v. Carl Hocker, Warden, Nevada State Prison, and the State of Nevada, 444 F.2d 1093 (9th Cir. 1971)
Chambers, Carter, Byrne

Thomas Serrano, and v. Carl Hocker, Warden, Nevada State Prison, and the State of Nevada

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

In this collateral attack on a state murder conviction, we find that the test of Harrington v. California, 395 U.S. 250, 89 S.Ct. 1726, 23 L.Ed.2d 284, fits the point on the introduction into evidence of an illegally seized gun. We find the error was harmless.

The other alleged errors in the state trial do not rise to constitutional proportions.
