Evans v. Watson, 31278
| Decision Date | 09 July 1976 |
| Docket Number | No. 31278,31278 |
| Citation | 237 Ga. 249,227 S.E.2d 253 |
| Parties | Albert Steve EVANS v. H. Grady WATSON, Clerk, et al. |
| Court | Georgia Supreme Court |
Albert Steve Evans, pro se.
Arthur K. Bolton, Atty. Gen., Tobert S. Stubbs, II, Chief Deputy Atty. Gen., Richard L. Chambers, Deputy Atty. Gen., G. Thomas Davis, Senior Asst. Atty. Gen., Kirby G. Atkinson, Staff Asst. Atty. Gen., Atlanta, for appellees.
Appellant, serving a sentence in the Georgia penal system, filed a 'motion for the transcript in cases (44466), (44467), and (44468).' While appellant's notice of appeal states that the transcripts were needed to 'perfect an appeal by a petition of habeas corpus,' no showing was made in the trial court as to the need or purpose for which the transcripts were sought. The trial court denied the petition.
On the basis of this record we affirm. Billups v. State, 234 Ga. 147, 148, 214 S.E.2d 884 (1975).
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur, except GUNTER and INGRAM, JJ., who dissent.
Although I dissented in Billups v. State, supra, in view of United States v. MacCollom -- U.S. --, 96 S.Ct. 2086, 48 L.Ed.2d 666 (decided June 10, 1976), which, although it involved a federal prisoner, dealt with equal protection, I concur in the judgment of the court.
