Dickerson v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama

Decided March 17, 1970No. 3 Div. 40Published

1Opinion of the Court

CATES, Judge.

This is a purported appeal from denial of habeas corpus wherein Dickerson tries to claim reinstatement of “good” time taken away from a penitentiary inmate. Dickerson’s petition failed to aver that if the claimed good time were subtracted from the then remainder of his sentences, he would then have served all his Alabama sentences. Hence, he did not make out even as persuasive a claim as that which we rejected in Rockholt v. State, 41 Ala.App. 337, 132 So.2d 269.
