STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Joe THOMPSON, Jr. v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary, et al.
No. 51344.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
April 26, 1971.

Opinion:
In re: Joe Thompson, Jr. applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and habeas corpus.
Writs refused. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of our supervisory jurisdiction.
BARHAM, J., dissents from the refusal and assigns written reasons.
DIXON, J., dissents from refusal to grant writs. Even after an evidentiary hearing, the record is silent and does not disclose that the plea of guilty was intelligently and voluntarily made. The requirements of Boykin have not been met.
