Jones v. Warden of the Maryland Penitentiary

Court of Appeals of Maryland
Mar 9, 1966
217 A.2d 338 (Md. 1966)

Opinion

[App. No. 49, September Term, 1965.]

Decided March 9, 1966.

Application for leave to appeal from the Criminal Court of Baltimore (BYRNES, J.).

Alexander Jones instituted a proceeding under the Post Conviction Procedure Act, and from a denial of relief, he applied for leave to appeal.

Application denied.

Before PRESCOTT, C.J., and HAMMOND, HORNEY, MARBURY, OPPENHEIMER, BARNES and McWILLIAMS, JJ.


Decided March 9, 1966.


No reasons are stated in petitioner's application why the lower court's order should be reversed as required by Maryland Rule BK 46, and it may be denied on that ground alone. Taylor v. Warden, 238 Md. 645, 210 A.2d 514 (1965). However, because he was convicted of the crime of murder, we have reviewed the contentions he put to the trial judge. We find no merit in any of them and for the reasons stated by Judge Byrnes in his opinion, the application will be denied.

Application denied.
