359 So. 2d 1302, 1978 La. LEXIS 6114

Opinion

In re: Billy R. Brown, applying for writ of mandamus. Parish of East Baton Rouge.

Granted. Whether applicant is in jail on an unrelated charge may not be relevant; he is entitled to discharge if allegations are correct; an evidentiary hearing is ordered to determine whether he is entitled to a discharge from Angola, and to make a record thereon.
