Opinion:
In re: Willie Lee Thomas applying" for writ of habeas corpus.
The application is denied. It is not our understanding that Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 83 S.Ct. 792, 9 L.Ed.2d 799, applies to misdemeanor cases. Hence, the trial judge correctly denied the application for habeas corpus.
