Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit August 20, 1982, 81-6293 (Early Lee Harris v. Gil Ingram, Warden, Federal Correctional Institute, Butner, North Carolina and J. Marshall Coleman, Attorney General of Virginia)

WIDENER, Circuit Judge:

Early Lee Harris was convicted of possession of burglary tools in a Virginia court on May 19, 1978. He was sentenced to a term of 12 months in jail, and was unconditionally released on December 20, 1978. Harris apparently chose to bypass a direct appeal of his Virginia conviction and instead filed a State habeas corpus petition, he says, in June 1978.
