Conley Byrd, Justice, concurring. I concur because Davidson could not have been entitled to any relief under Ark. Stat. Ann. § 43-1708 (Supp. 1971), under any circumstances before the expiration of the March 1971 term of court which did not occur until the 4th Monday in September, 1971. On that date any relief to which Davidson could have been entitled to receive under Ark. Stat. Ann. § 43-1708, was superseded by the provision of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, [Acts 1971, No. 705, Ark. Stat. Ann. § 43-3201 et seq. (Supp. 1971)], adopted by both Arkansas and Colorado. That Act requires a demand from the prisoner. A reversal on this ground makes unnecessary any discussion of whether a demand is a prerequisite to relief under Ark. Stat. Ann. § 43-1708, when applied to a prisoner serving time in another jurisdiction. Fogleman, J., joins in this concurrence.
