Donald J. Schnepp, Appellant, v. Carl G. Hocker, Warden, Appellee, 439 F.2d 712 (9th Cir. 1971)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 439 F.2d 712 (9th Cir. 1971) February 22, 1971

Donald J. Schnepp, in pro. per.

Harvey Dickerson, Atty. Gen. of Nev., Carson City, Nev., for appellee.

Before CHAMBERS, KOELSCH, and BROWNING, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Schnepp, a Nevada prisoner, has been here before on habeas corpus on an appeal from the District of Nevada. Schnepp v. Hocker, 429 F.2d 1096. See also Schnepp v. State, 82 Nev. 257, 415 P.2d 619; Schnepp v. Fogliam, 83 Nev. 131, 425 P.2d 141; and Schnepp v. State, 84 Nev. 120, 437 P.2d 84.

This time he asserts there is an unconstitutional presumption against him in Nevada Revised Statutes § 205.065. The short and complete answer is the Nevada trial court did not use the presumption in its instructions.

The district court order appealed from is affirmed.
