Victor LINKLETTER and Billy Jack Morris v. STATE of Louisiana ex rel. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, and Adler LeDoux, Sheriff of St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.
    No. 53489.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    May 24, 1973.
   In re: Victor Linkletter and Billy Jack Morris applying for writ of certiorari and habeas corpus.

Granted. The trial court is ordered to grant an extension of time for perfecting bills of exceptions; the trial court has such power because this is a post-conviction remedy.

BARHAM, J.,

concurs, being of the opinion that the trial judge could extend the time for filing bills of exceptions until the appeal was actually lodged here. His authority was retained even without a ha-beas proceeding. See Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 916.
