Baez v. Lee

Supreme Court of Georgia
Feb 5, 1993
425 S.E.2d 879 (Ga. 1993)

Opinion

S92A1519.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 5, 1993.

Habeas corpus. Douglas Superior Court. Before Judge James.

J. M. Raffauf, for appellant.

David McDade, District Attorney, William H. McClain, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Roberto Baez appeals the superior court's denial of his petition for habeas corpus. When he filed his petition, Baez was a pre-trial detainee in the Douglas County jail, awaiting trial for alleged violations of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act and other charges. We agree with the superior court's conclusion that Baez's petition states no claim that his detention is illegal. His claims regarding his incarceration in another prison do not present grounds for relief, Steed v. Ault, 229 Ga. 649, 650 ( 193 S.E.2d 851) (1972), nor do his allegations regarding his present confinement. See York v. Jarvis, 248 Ga. 774 ( 286 S.E.2d 296) (1982). Accordingly, the trial court did not err in denying Baez's petition without a hearing. McNabb v. Esposito, 258 Ga. 521 ( 372 S.E.2d 219) (1988).

Judgment affirmed. Clarke, P. J., Benham, Fletcher, Sears-Collins and Hunstein, JJ., concur.
