Description
POPE, Circuit Judge. The appellee Wade is a California state prisoner who in November, 1960, was found guilty of murder in the first degree and
was sentenced to life imprisonment. He appealed his sentence to the District Court of Appeal where his conviction was affirmed
on April 17, 1961. In May, 1966, he made an application to the same District Court of Appeal which he describes as one "for
the issuance of records". On July 21, 1966, he filed in the State Supreme Court a petition for writ of . His application in
the District Court of Appeal he says, was denied without filing and his petition for in the State Supreme Court was denied
without opinion. Thereafter and on February 16, 1967, he filed in the court below a petition for writ of . In that petition
he stated that the ground for it was "that I am being denied due process and equal protection of the law by the State of California
by the illegal retrainment of my trial records." It was shown that at all times here mentioned he was indigent and without
funds or means of paying for the copying of the transcript of the proceedings at his trial and he was permitted to file his
action in forma pauperis.
