Summary of this case from Rodriguez v. RosenblattOpinion
No. 48412.

IN RE: STANLEY E. CORTINEZ APPLYING FOR WRITS OF CERTIORARI AND MANDAMUS.
The application is denied. It is not our understanding that Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 83 S.Ct. 792, 9 L.Ed.2d 799, applies to misdemeanor cases. Hence the trial judge correctly denied the application for habeas corpus.
