U.S. Supreme Court

Doherty v. United States, 404 U.S. 28 (1971)

Doherty v. United States

No. 71-5679

Decided November 9, 1971

404 U.S. 28

Syllabus

The Court of Appeals (apparently on the basis of the inapplicability of a court rule) denied a motion, which petitioner as a claimed indigent filed after his conviction was affirmed, for appointment of counsel to assist in preparing a petition for a writ of certiorari. The case is remanded for reconsideration of petitioner's motion in the light of Criminal Justice Act provisions that might be relevant thereto.

Certiorari granted; vacated and remanded.
