[1] This is an original proceedings in which the petitioner, Willie L. Turner, seeks his release from confinement in the penitentiary where he is presently confined by virtue of a judgment and sentence rendered against him in the District Court of Washita County, Case No. 1240.
[2] Petitioner's only allegation is that he was denied effective counsel and thereby his Constitutional rights were violated.
[3] The State has filed a demurrer for the reason that the same fails to state a cause of action, more specifically, the petition does not allege or state that petitioner filed a motion for new trial, gave notice of intent to appeal, or otherwise complied with the jurisdictional requirements for an appeal; although he now grounds his application for habeas corpus on his lack of an appeal.
[4] It appearing that the pleadings support the position of respondent, we are of the opinion that the Demurrer should be sustained, and the relief prayed for denied.
[5] Demurrer sustained, writ denied.
[6] BUSSEY, P.J., and BRETT, J., concur.
