Edward Leon Boles v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections
Opinion
The district court denied this petition for a writ of habeas corpus on the basis that the same contention had been advanced in a prior application — Boles v. Beto, S.D.Tex., Houston Div., No. 14,-557 — which was denied after an evi-dentiary hearing. 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244. A perusal of both records reveals that in both petitions appellant contended that he had been denied a trial transcript and the right to take a direct appeal. The former petition was denied on December 26, 1962, and this Court denied the application for a certificate of probable cause and the motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis on April 2, 1963.
No new ground for relief has been alleged in the present petition, nor does there appear any need for another evi-dentiary hearing. The judgment of the district court is therefore affirmed.
