Publisher Description
James A. Harvey, a Maryland state prisoner, appeals from the summary denial by the district court of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Having been found guilty by a jury of attempted robbery, assault with intent to rob, and assault and battery, he was sentenced to a prison term of eighteen years. After exhausting his state remedies, Harvey sought relief in the district court claiming that: (1) there was no testimony connecting him with the crime other than the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice; (2) he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel; and (3) he was not advised of his Miranda rights. The district court found that these allegations were without merit and consequently denied the petition. Harvey then filed a notice of appeal from this order and was granted a certificate of probable cause to appeal.
