United States Ex Rel. Walter B. Atkins, Relator-Appellant v. Walter B. Martin, Warden of Attica State Prison, 228 F.2d 188, 2d Cir. (1955)

Walter Atkins was serving a sentence in New York state prison as a second offender due to a prior conviction in Florida in 1939 for assault to commit manslaughter. Atkins argued his Florida conviction was invalid because he was not informed of his right to counsel. The court affirmed the denial of habeas corpus, finding Atkins' Florida conviction was not unfair and did not deprive him of due process. Additionally, Atkins did not exhaust his remedies in Florida courts by appealing the denial of his 1954 petition to set aside the Florida sentence.

UNITED STATES ex rel. Walter B. ATKINS, RelatorAppellant,

v.
Walter B. MARTIN, Warden of Attica State Prison,
Respondent-Appellee.
No. 116.
Docket 23579.

United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.

Argued December 6, 1955.
Decided December 22, 1955.

Walter B. Atkins, pro se.

Jacob K. Javits, Atty. Gen., of the State of New York, for appellee. James
O. Moore, Jr., Sol. Gen., Buffalo, N. Y., and Abe Wagman, Asst. Atty.
Gen., of counsel.
Before SWAN, FRANK and LUMBARD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

In 1939 the appellant pleaded guilty in a state court in Florida to a charge of

"assault to commit manslaughter" and was sentenced to twelve months in the
county jail. In 1947 he pleaded guilty in a state court in New York to a charge
of second degree assault, and was sentenced as a second offender because of his
prior conviction in Florida. He is at present serving the New York sentence in
Attica State Prison.

In the court below the relator attacked the validity of his Florida conviction on
the ground that the Florida court failed to inform him of his right to counsel.
After hearing his testimony Judge Burke concluded that his conviction and
sentence in Florida were not attended by any element of unfairness, nor was he
deprived of due process under the 14th Amendment. See Quicksall v. People of
State of Michigan, 339 U.S. 660, 666, 70 S.Ct. 910, 94 L.Ed. 1188; United

State ex rel. Turpin v. Warden of Green Haven Prison, 2 Cir., 190 F.2d 252,
253, certiorari denied Turpin v. Warden of Green Haven Prison of State of New
York, 342 U.S. 872, 72 S.Ct. 116, 96 L.Ed. 656. Furthermore, it does not
appear that the relator has exhausted his remedies in the Florida courts. In 1954
he petitioned the sentencing court to set aside its sentence, and it does not
appear that he appealed from the denial of his petition, although he was
informed by the Attorney General of Florida of his right to appeal.

Judgment affirmed.
