LANE v. BROWN

No. 283.

372 U.S. 477 (1963)

LANE, WARDEN, v. BROWN.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided March 18, 1963.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William D. Ruckelshaus, Assistant Attorney General of Indiana, by special leave of the Court, pro hac vice, argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the brief was Edwin K. Steers, Attorney General.

Nathan Levy argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief was Joseph T. Helling.

MR. JUSTICE STEWART delivered the opinion of the Court.

The respondent, George Robert Brown, is in an Indiana prison under sentence of death. He is an indigent. In a federal habeas corpus proceeding the District Court held that Indiana has deprived Brown of a right secured by the Fourteenth Amendment by refusing him appellate review of the denial of a writ of error coram nobis solely because of his poverty.
