JAMES HALEY, PETITIONER-APPELLANT,
v.
LAWRENCE E. WILSON, WARDEN, SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON, RESPONDENT-APPELLEE

9th Cir. | 1966-03-10
No. 20462
357 F.2d 722 United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (1966) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM;

[*723] PER CURIAM;

Appellant seeks relief, by habeas corpus, from state imprisonment following state conviction of the crime of possession of marijuana.

The District Court denied the writ. In its order it noted:

“On page three of the petition filed herein, petitioner states that, ‘the public defender said he would take care of the appeal.’ No appeal was taken, California Rules of Court, Rule 31(a), provides that in a proper ease petitioner may seek relief from his default in failing to file a timely notice of appeal in a criminal case. See People v. Curry, 62 A.C. 211 [62 Cal.2d 207, 42 Cal.Rptr. 17, 397 P. 2d 1009] (1965).”

The Court ruled:

“Petitioner has failed to exhaust available state remedies. The petition is, therefore, denied.”

We agree.

Affirmed.
