STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Ronald JONES v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 54244.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Jan. 25, 1974.
   In re: Ronald Jones applying for Writs of Habeas Corpus, Certiorari, Prohibition and other Remedial Writs.

Writ refused. Although the relator states that he was not present at the evi-dentiary hearing, the ground alleged here, that the defense counsel had less than 5 years experience does not rise to a constitutional dimension.

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion relator is entitled to a full and adequate eviden-tiary hearing previously ordered by this Court. An ex parte hearing on application of writ of habeas corpus does not comply with our statutes. Moreover, a constitutional question of due process and equal protection is presented under C.Cr.P., Art. 512. I respectfully dissent.
