Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit March 9, 1981, 79-2674 (John Louis Evans, III v. Robert G. Britton, Commissioner, Alabama Board of Corrections, and Joseph Oliver, Warden, Holman Prison)

*222

PER CURIAM:

In its petition for rehearing, the state raises two points which merit further comment.

The state first argues that the panel ignored the effect of Evans’ guilty plea. The state maintains that, under Alabama law, the guilty plea was effective, and forecloses on any doubt regarding the fairness of Evans’ trial.
