William H. James, pro se.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Tony H. Hight, for appellee.


GRICE, Justice.

The appellant has instituted a mandamus proceeding against the State of Georgia, seeking to require that a sentence imposed upon him be changed so as to give him credit for the time he was confined pending an appeal.

In our view it is not necessary to recite the allegations of the petition.
