253 So.2d 62
    STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Joseph SALISBERRY v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary, et al.
    No. 51796.
    Oct. 13, 1971.
   In re: Joseph Salisberry, applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and habeas corpus.

Writ denied. Although the’ petitioner’s retained counsel may have neglected to perfect an appeal, this does not amount to State action depriving him of the effective assistance of counsel and thus presents no valid claim of unconstitutional denial of right. Cf., Beto v. Martin, 396 F.2d 432 (5 Cir. 1968).

SANDERS, J., concurs in the denial of the writ.
