Opinion
No. 26767.
November 24, 1969. Rehearing Denied and Rehearing En Banc Denied January 12, 1970. Certiorari Denied April 6, 1970. See 90 S.Ct. 1281.
David Lawrence, pro se.
Paul E. Gifford, Miami, Fla. (Ct. Apptd.), for appellant.
Earl Faircloth, Atty. Gen. of Florida, Miami, Fla., Arden M. Siegendorf, Asst. Atty. Gen., Miami, Fla., for appellee.
Before RIVES, BELL, and DYER, Circuit Judges.
This appeal, filed sixty three days after the denial of the petition for writ of habeas corpus, is dismissed. See Allen v. Wainwright, 5 Cir., 1967, 384 F.2d 745. There is no showing that the failure to file the notice of appeal within the extended time period of 30 days provided under Rule 4(a), Federal Rules Appellate Procedure, was attributable to anyone other than appellant. We thus deem the case of Fallen v. United States, 1964, 378 U.S. 139, 84 S.Ct. 1689, 12 L.Ed.2d 760, to be inapplicable.
This appeal was dismissed by order of this court dated September 25, 1968. Lawrence v. Wainwright, 5 Cir., 1968, 401 F.2d 177. That order was vacated on November 20, 1968. The court then ordered that the motion be carried with the case for disposition. Council was appointed to represent appellant. Lawrence v. Wainwright, 5 Cir., 1968, 404 F.2d 614.
As to appellant's right to file an additional petition for writ on the same or other grounds in the District Court, see Sanders v. United States, 1963, 373 U.S. 1, 83 S.Ct. 1068, 10 L.Ed.2d 148.
Appeal dismissed.
