STATE of Louisiana ex rel. George Henry LEE v. C. Paul PHELPS, Secretary.
    No. 64498.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    May 4, 1979.
   In re: George Henry Lee applying for Writ of Mandamus, Parish of Madison (Number not known).

Writ denied.

DIXON, J.,

would grant. This court, without any reason, denies an indigent inmate a copy of a transcript (already prepared) of an evidentiary hearing of a post-conviction hearing because he cannot pay $15 (as “handling and mailing”). The applicant should now apply to the U.S. District Court for relief.

CALOGERO and DENNIS, JJ., would grant the writ.
