William H. 'bill' Cross, Appellant, v. Louis L. Wainwright, Director, Division of Corrections,state of Florida, Appellee, 328 F.2d 619 (5th Cir. 1964)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 328 F.2d 619 (5th Cir. 1964) March 5, 1964, Rehearing Denied March 26, 1964

George R. Georgieff, Asst. Atty. Gen. of Florida, Tallahassee, Fla., for appellee.

Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and JONES and BELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


The appellant was indicted, tried and convicted in the courts of Florida, as a codefendant with Floyd L. Cullins. They were represented by the same counsel and asserted the same defenses. Both Cullins and the appellant Cross, after exhausting state remedies, sought relief from their convictions by habeas corpus. That relief was denied in both instances. Both Cullins and Cross appealed to this Court. In the Cullins case,1  decided February 14, 1964, we reversed the order of the district court. There being no factual difference, the same result is reached here as in the Cullins case. Therefore, the order of the district court is reversed and the proceeding remanded for further action.

Reversed and remanded.

ON PETITION FOR REHEARING

Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and JONES and BELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

The appellee seeks to raise questions by petition for rehearing that were not raised on the original hearing of this appeal. The petition for rehearing is DENIED.
