Head Matter:
STATE of Louisiana ex rel. George Henry LEE v. C. Paul PHELPS, Secretary.
No. 64498.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
May 4, 1979.

Opinion:
In re: George Henry Lee applying for Writ of Mandamus, Parish of Madison (Number not known).
Writ denied.
DIXON, J.,
would grant. This court, without any reason, denies an indigent inmate a copy of a transcript (already prepared) of an evidentiary hearing of a post-conviction hearing because he cannot pay $15 (as "handling and mailing"). The applicant should now apply to the U.S. District Court for relief.
CALOGERO and DENNIS, JJ., would grant the writ.
