United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

November 20, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert E. Lusk, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Montgomery, Ala., for respondents-appellants cross-appellees.

Dennis N. Balske, Montgomery, Ala., for petitioner-appellee cross-appellant.

Before FAY and JOHNSON, Circuit Judges, and ALLGOOD, Senior District Judge.


ALLGOOD, Senior District Judge:

This is an appeal from the district court's granting of habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The respondents appealed from the lower court's order directing the release of the petitioner unless retried within ninety days, and the petitioner cross-appealed from certain other aspects of the order. We conclude that the court's order granting the writ is due to be affirmed.
