U.S. Supreme Court

Odom v. United States, 400 U.S. 23 (1970)

Odom v. United States

No. 300

Decided November 9, 1970

400 U.S. 23

Syllabus

Greater severity of petitioner's second sentence, as Court learned after granting certiorari on issue of retroactivity of North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U. S. 711, was based on petitioner's conduct (specifically referred to at resentencing) after the first sentencing; writ is therefore dismissed as improvidently granted.

403 F.2d 45, certiorari dismissed.
