No. 6914.

Walter ALEX, Appellant, v. STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Nevada.

March 22, 1973.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gary A. Sheerin, State Public Defender, Carson City, for appellant.

Robert List, Atty. Gen., and Robert A. Groves, Deputy Atty. Gen., Carson City, Roy A. Woofter, Dist. Atty., Las Vegas, for respondent.


OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Walter Alex, through a post-conviction proceeding, seeks release from prison on the ground that another person, one Alfred "Cat" Adams, committed the crime. Adams so testified. The district court did not believe his testimony since he had come forward in like fashion for other convicted persons, and since the record of the trial otherwise supports the conviction of Alex. The court acted within its discretion.
