Description
Per Curiam. Cleveland Hollingshead petitioned this Court for writ of habeas corpus (see Hollingshead v. Wainwright, 177 So.2d 477). Our denial of said petition was reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States on the authority of Douglas v. People of State of California, 372 U.S. 353, 83 S. Ct. 814, 9 L. Ed. 2d 811. (See Hollingshead v. Wainwright, 384 U.S. 31, 86 S. Ct. 1284, 16 L. Ed. 2d 333.) In compliance with the above mentioned decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, and to examine the truthfulness of the Petitioner's allegations that he had been denied due process of law by the trial court in refusing to furnish him counsel after Petitioner repeatedly requested him to do so for the purpose of direct appeal to review the conviction, judgment and sentence in the instant case, this Court on July 29, 1966 appointed Honorable Woodrow M. Melvin, Circuit Judge of the First Judicial Circuit, commissioner to take testimony upon the factual issues presented by the Petitioner. (See Hollingshead v. Wainwright, Fla., 188 So.2d 788.) Upon consideration of the report submitted by the able commissioner in which he found the allegations of the Petitioner to be true in point of fact and recommended an appellate review of Petitioner's conviction, it is our opinion that due process of law requires that the Petitioner be afforded a full appellate review of his conviction, judgment and sentence.
