Doherty v. United States
United States Supreme Court
Doherty v. United States
On Application for Appointment of Counsel
No. 71-5679
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.
PER CURIAM.
