Ex Parte Buse
| Decision Date | 25 August 1989 |
| Parties | Ex parte Jimmy Carl BUSE. (Re Jimmy Carl Buse v. State). 88-1302. |
| Court | Alabama Supreme Court |
Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Thomas B. Prickett II, Oneonta, for petitioner.
Don Siegelman, Atty. Gen., and Joseph G.L. Marston III, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondent.
Prior report: Ala.Cr.App., 550 So.2d 1086.
In denying the writ, we point out that writs of certiorari are frequently denied without any consideration of the merits. Haden v. Olan Mills, Inc., 273 Ala. 129, 135 So.2d 388 (1961). A denial of certiorari should never be considered as an expression by the reviewing court on the merits of the controversy. See Hamilton Brown Shoe Co. v. Wolf Brothers, 240 U.S. 251, 36 S.Ct. 269, 60 L.Ed. 629 (1916).
WRIT DENIED.
