General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Doherty v. United States, 404 U.S. 28 (1971)
Doherty v. United States No. 71-5679 Decided November 9, 1971 404 U.S. 28
ON APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL
Syllabus
The Court of Appeals (apparently on the basis of the inapplicability of a court rule) denied a motion, which petitioner as a claimed indigent filed after his conviction was affirmed, for appointment of counsel to assist in preparing a petition for a writ of certiorari. The case is remanded for reconsideration of petitioner’s motion in the light of Criminal Justice Act provisions that might be relevant thereto.
Certiorari granted; vacated and remanded.
