Miller v. Parker

Supreme Court of Georgia
Sep 3, 1986
348 S.E.2d 655 (Ga. 1986)

Opinion

43559.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 3, 1986.

Habeas corpus. Bibb Superior Court. Before Judge Johnson.

Floyd Miller, pro se. Sell Melton, Rick W. Griffin, Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, Eddie Snelling, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.


Miller was convicted of burglary and rape in Floyd County, and on appeal his convictions were affirmed. Miller v. State, 151 Ga. App. 718 ( 261 S.E.2d 454) (1979). Miller subsequently brought a writ of habeas corpus contending, inter alia, that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions. Relying on Littles v. Balkcom, 245 Ga. 285 ( 264 S.E.2d 219) (1980), the habeas court declined to address this issue. We granted Miller's application for a certificate of probable cause to appeal, and now remand the case to the habeas court for reconsideration in light of this court's opinion in Valenzuela v. Newsome, 253 Ga. 793 ( 325 S.E.2d 370) (1985). See also Moore v. Kemp, 254 Ga. 279 ( 328 S.E.2d 725) (1985); Black v. Hardin, 255 Ga. 239 ( 336 S.E.2d 754) (1985).

Case remanded. All the Justices concur.
