The opinion

In re: Henry Brown applying for writs of certiorari, and habeas corpus.

Writ refused. The showing made is insufficient to warrant relief as shown by the evidence and reasons of the trial judge.

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion that a fifteen minute consultation with counsel immediately after appointment of counsel and at immediate plea of guilty on advice of counsel is violative of effective counsel and makes a plea suspect as to its knowledgeable, free and voluntary character.
