Commonwealth v. Shindler

Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Carbon County

Decided April 11, 1972No. 8Published

1Opinion of the Court

HEIMBACH, P. J.,

We have before us defendant’s application for the appointment of counsel, other than the public defender, to represent him in his contemplated appeals in the Federal courts from the order of the Superior Court affirming the order of the lower court and the disallowance of an appeal by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania from such order.* He gives as the sole reason for our acting favorably on his application that he is constitutionally entitled to counsel to “submit an application for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court as well as other motions and petitions.”
