Opinion
No. O-196.
Filed June 20, 1951.
MANDAMUS — Jurisdiction, Proceedings and Relief — Parties — Action Must Be Brought in Name of State. — Where an original mandamus action in the Supreme Court was brought in the name of the petitioner instead of in the name of the State of Indiana on the relation of the petitioner as the party in interest, relief would be denied.
Original action by Grant F. Casey against William J. Murray, Judge Criminal Court of Lake County, for an alternative writ of mandamus to compel respondent to hear and determine a petition for a writ of error coram nobis.
Petition denied.
Grant F. Casey, pro se.
This is an original action whereby petitioner seeks an alternative writ of mandamus to compel the respondent to hear and determine an alleged petition for writ of error coram nobis filed by the relator in the trial court. Since the action is not brought in the name of the State of Indiana on the relation of the petitioner, the issuance of the alternative writ is denied upon the authority of Meek v. Baker (1951), 229 Ind. 543, 99 N.E.2d 426, decided this date.
NOTE. — Reported in 99 N.E.2d 426.
