Head Matter:
STATE of Louisiana v. David L. BAGLEY.
No. 61528.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Feb. 17, 1978.

Opinion:
In re: David L. Bagley, applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus. Parish of DeSoto.
Writ denied. The ruling of the trial judge is correct. In the event of conviction, relator cannot be subjected to imprisonment based upon previous uncounselled convictions. Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 U.S. 25, 92 S.Ct. 2006, 32 L.Ed.2d 530 (1972). Hence, this prosecution does not expose relator to the threat of imprisonment without the assistance of counsel.
DIXON, J., would grant the writ.
