HULSEY v. STATE

HULSEY v. STATE
1967 OK CR 82
428 P.2d 351
Case Number: A-14220
Decided: 05/10/1967
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

Original Proceedings in which Veirl Hulsey seeks a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Writ denied.

Veirl Hulsey, pro se.

G.T. Blankenship, Atty. Gen., Hugh H. Collum, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondents.

NIX, Presiding Judge:

¶1 This is an original proceeding filed by the petitioner, Veirl Hulsey, for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that his sentence is excessive and greater than permitted by law.

¶2 This Court finds the identical allegation was made by petitioner in the appeal of his conviction (Okl.Cr. 307 P.2d 553) and this Court stated:

"In view of the fact that the sentence imposed is only two years in excess of the minimum and five prior convictions are conclusively shown, we can find no merit in this contention."

Further, the Court of Criminal Appeals will not grant habeas corpus relief where questions raised were in existence and were properly considered and passed on in accused's appeal on which his judgment of conviction was affirmed.

¶3 For these reasons, the application for writ of habeas corpus is denied.

BUSSEY and BRETT, JJ., concur.
