Opinion
M. P. No. 74-287.
October 31, 1974.
In a habeas corpus petition such as presented here, the court would ordinarily issue a show cause order. However, the court had available to it the entire record of the companion case of Barnes v. Mullen, 113 R.I. 930, 322 A.2d 302 (1974), which covered precisely the same issues as set forth in the instant petition. The order entered by this court on October 24, 1974 in said companion case Barnes v. Mullen, denying the habeas petition is controlling here. The instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus is therefore denied.
Alton W. Wiley, for petitioner.
Richard J. Israel, Attorney General, for respondent.
