Opinion

80-685.

February 5, 1982.

Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals, 410 So.2d 133.

Charles A. Graddick, Atty. Gen., and Bill North and Sandra M. Solowiej, Asst. Attys. Gen., for petitioner.

George K. Elbrecht, Monroeville, for respondent.


Writ quashed as being improvidently granted.

JONES, SHORES, EMBRY, BEATTY and ADAMS, JJ., concur.

TORBERT, C.J., and MADDOX and ALMON, JJ., dissent.


I respectfully dissent. In my opinion, Burgett v. Texas, 389 U.S. 109, 88 S.Ct. 258, 19 L.Ed.2d 319 and Baldasar v. Illinois, 446 U.S. 222, 100 S.Ct. 1585, 64 L.Ed.2d 169, are inapplicable to a revocation of probation proceeding because an uncounseled conviction is not invalid for all purposes. Cf. Lewis v. United States, 445 U.S. 55, 100 S.Ct. 915, 63 L.Ed.2d 198 (1980).

TORBERT, C.J., and ALMON, J., concur.
