STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Philip A. MILES v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, et al.
    No. 56619.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 25, 1975.
   In re: Philip A. Miles applying for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Writ refused. The showing made is insufficient to warrant the exercise of our jurisdiction.

TATE, J.,

The petitioner alleges his plea of guilty was coerced and without compliance with Boykin. In the absence of a transcribed colloquy contemporaneous with the plea of guilty, he is entitled to an evi-dentiary hearing. State ex rel. Jackson v. Henderson, 260 La. 90, 255 So.2d 85, (1971). I concur in the denial on the narrow ground that he does not attack as erroneous the minute entry specifically showing Boykin compliance.

DIXON, J., dissents from the refusal; there has been no judicial determination of the allegation. Even under state law applicant is entitled to a hearing. C.Cr.P. 354.

CALOGERO, J., dissents. Petitioner is clearly entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his allegations.
