STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Leon PRITCHARD v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiant State Penitentiary.
No. 50675.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
June 26, 1970.

Opinion:
In re: Leon Pritchard applying for writs of habeas corpus, certiorari and mandamus.
Writ refused. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of our supervisory or original jurisdiction. In the present case, defendant was represented by counsel when sentence was imposed. Mempha v. Rhay, 389 U.S. 128, 88 S.Ct. 254, 19 L.Ed.2d 336 (1967), relied on, involved a deferred sentence. Hence, it is distinguishable.
