PartiesPhilip Raymond RICE v. WARDEN OF MARYLAND PENITENTIARY. Post Conviction
CourtMaryland Court of Appeals

Before BRUNE, C. J., and HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT, and HORNEY, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

The Post Conviction Procedure Act is a procedural act and not an enlargement of substantive rights of review. State v. D'Onofrio, Md.1959, 155 A.2d 643. The question of the legality of search and seizure cannot be raised under the Act. Banks v. Warden, Md., 151 A.2d 897; Mears v. Warden, Md., 155 A.2d 72. After conviction a question of bail may not be raised on habeas corpus, Brooks v. Warden, 218 Md. 650, 145 A.2d 569; nor may alleged irregularities in preliminary proceedings or procedures which may not be raised on habeas corpus be reviewed under the Post Conviction Procedure Act. For the above reasons, and for the reasons stated in the opinion and order of Judge Manley filed in this case in the Criminal Court of Baltimore on July 16, 1959, the application of Philip Raymond Rice for leave to appeal is denied.

Application for leave to appeal denied.
