STATE of Louisiana ex rel. John David BROUSSARD v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 54901.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    June 21, 1974.
   In re: John David Broussard applying for Writ of Habeas Corpus, alternatively Certiorari, Prohibition and Injunctive relief.

Writ denied. Based on minute entry at plea the plea appears free and voluntary.

SUMMERS, J.,

is fully in accord with the denial of this writ. The so-called requirement of “Boykinizing” has been soundly repudiated. See McChesney v. Henderson, Warden, 482 F.2d 1101 (Sth Cir. 1973).

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion an evi-dentiary hearing is required. The minute entry merely shows the judge’s conclusion that defendant knew the consequence of his plea. Defendant was not Boykinized under this entry. A knowing and voluntary plea is not evidenced by minutes.

DIXON, and CALOGERO, JJ., are of the opinion an evidentiary hearing is required.
