Mandamus. Wilkinson Superior Court. Before Judge Jackson.

Robert Jerome Heard filed a petition for the writ of mandamus against Willis I. Allen, Clerk of the Wilkinson Superior Court seeking to obtain a copy of his trial transcript in order to pursue an appeal. The mandamus petition was not sanctioned by the trial court because the convictions were being appealed by appellant's court-appointed attorney who had in his possession all of the requested records.
