Description
Plaintiff commenced this proceeding in the district court on December 24, 1970, seeking release from the State Prison where he is serving a sentence for second-degree murder after conviction by a jury eight years earlier, in December, 1962. He stated various claims for relief which turned out to be mainly that he did not have competent counsel, and that in proceedings prior to the trial he was subjected to improper questioning. In order to substantiate these claims he requested a transcript of the proceedings. This led to the discovery that the reporters notes, which appear to have been filed in the county clerks office eight years earlier, cannot be found. The inability to furnish that transcript is now the gravamen of his attack upon his conviction and contention that he should be released from prison.
