Eugene Marvin Davis v. B. J. Rhay, Superintendent of the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla, Washington
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided May 20, 1958No. 15837_1PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Per curiam
Davis appeals from the denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus to be released from a sentence of imprisonment for second degree assault (assault with a deadly weapon). After pleading not guilty to this charge Davis, represented by counsel, changed his plea in open court to guilty.
One of his contentions is that the Washington statute under which he was convicted is unconstitutional because as interpreted by the court it deprives him of equal protection of the law. This court decided this question adversely to his contention in the recent case of Jones v. Rhay, 254 F.2d 393.
