STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Frank RECASNER v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 53140.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 1, 1973.
   In re: Frank Recasner applying for writs of habeas corpus, certiorari, prohibition and mandamus.

Writ denied. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of this Court’s supervisory jurisdiction. The record of the trial court shows the plea of guilty was free and voluntary.

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion this writ must be granted since the relator did not have his constitutional rights explained to him before the plea was received. The plea was taken after Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 and the complete transcript of the plea colloquy negates compliance with Boykin.

TATE, J.,

concurs in the denial on the basis of State ex rel. LeBlanc v. Henderson, 261 La. 315, 259 So.2d 557 (1972).

DIXON and CALOGERO, JJ., dissent from the refusal.
