The district court is ordered to appoint relator counsel and to conduct an evidentiary hearing on relator's claims that the state breached the terms of a plea bargain by extraditing him back to Louisiana to finish the remainder of his prison term for armed robbery and that his guilty plea was other wise rendered involuntary by threats and physical abuse. In all other respects the application is denied.
