    Culp v. United States.
   C. A. 8th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Brennan,

with whom Mr. Justice Marshall joins,

dissenting.

After a jury trial in 1972 in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, petitioner was convicted of forcibly breaking into a post office with intent to commit larceny. The proof at trial showed that postal money orders identified by serial number and a postal marking stamp containing the legend “Lincoln, Nebraska Station No. 5” were missing and taken in the crime of which petitioner was convicted. Previously, petitioner had been indicted in the Southern District of Florida on charges of receiving property stolen from the post office, passing forged postal money orders, and conspiracy to commit those offenses. The Florida indictment listed as overt acts the unlawful receipt, concealment, and retention of postal money orders with serial numbers identical to those involved in the Nebraska case as well as possession of the Lincoln, Neb., postal marking stamp. Guilty pleas were entered to this indictment and petitioner was sentenced to consecutive terms totaling 10 years on October 19, 1971. The convictions in both Nebraska and Florida were upheld on appeal and certiorari was denied.

Thereafter, petitioner moved the Nebraska court pursuant to 28 U. S. C. § 2255 to vacate the Nebraska conviction. In support of this motion it was argued that Congress did not intend to punish a person who steals from a post office for both the act of larceny and the subsequent receipt and possession of the property stolen. Cf. Milanovich v. United States, 365 U. S. 551 (1961). In addition, petitioner took the position that the Double Jeopardy Clause required the Nebraska conviction to be set aside. The District Court rejected both contentions and the Court of Appeals affirmed without opinion. 558 F. 2d 1035 (CA8 1977).

I would grant the petition for certiorari and reverse the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. I adhere to the view that the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment requires the prosecution in one proceeding, except in extremely limited circumstances not present here, of “all the charges against a defendant that grow out of a single criminal act, occurrence, episode, or transaction.” Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U. S. 436, 453-454 (1970) (Brennan, J., concurring). See Thompson v. Oklahoma, 429 U. S. 1053 (1977) (Brennan, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari), and cases collected therein.

    Butler v. Fogg, Correctional Superintendent.
   C. A. 2d Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Brennan,

with whom Mr. Justice Marshall joins,

dissenting.

Petitioner was charged by information in New York State court in Suffolk County with the criminal possession of stolen property. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year in county jail. Thereafter, he was indicted in New York State court in Nassau County and charged with burglary arising out of the same episode. Over his objection that this indictment violated the Double Jeopardy Clause, petitioner was convicted after a jury trial and sentenced to an indeterminate sentence not to exceed five years. The burglary conviction was affirmed on direct appeal by the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, People v. Butler, 44 App. Div. 2d 423, 355 N. Y. S. 2d 172 (1974), and the New York Court of Appeals, 36 N. Y. 2d 990, 337 N. E. 2d 120 (1975). The Federal District Court subsequently denied petitioner habeas corpus relief, Butler v. Bombard, No. 76 C 1126 (EDNY Dec. 8, 1976), and the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed, 556 F. 2d 554 (1977).

I would grant the petition for certiorari and reverse the judgment of the Second Circuit. Obviously the two New York counties are not separate sovereigns for double jeopardy purposes. See Waller v. Florida, 397 U. S. 387 (1970). I adhere to the view that the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, applied to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment, requires the prosecution in one proceeding, except in extremely limited circumstances not present here, of “all the charges against a defendant that grow out of a single criminal act, occurrence, episode, or transaction.” Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U. S. 436, 453-454 (1970) (Brennan, J., concurring). See Thompson v. Oklahoma, 429 U. S. 1053 (1977) (Brennan, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari), and cases collected therein.

    Masri v. United States.
   C. A. 5th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice White,

with whom Mr. Justice Marshall joins,

dissenting.

I dissent from the denial of the petition for certiorari.

The issue is the admissibility of polygraph evidence offered in his own defense by a defendant in a criminal trial. The facts about his conduct were largely undisputed; his principal defense was that he lacked criminal intent. The trial judge found that the polygraph evidence proffered could have been appropriate on the question of intent but excluded the evidence because of the rule in the Fifth Circuit absolutely barring polygraph evidence.

The rule is different in other Circuits. Some have expressed a willingness to uphold a trial judge’s sound discretion on admitting polygraph evidence. See, e. g., United States v. Mayes, 512 F. 2d 637 (CA6), cert. denied, 422 U. S. 1008 (1975); United States v. Infelice, 506 F. 2d 1358 (CA7 1974), cert. denied, 419 U. S. 1107 (1975); United States v. De Betham, 470 F. 2d 1367 (CA9 1972), cert. denied, 412 U. S. 907 (1973); and United States v. Wainwright, 413 F. 2d 796 (CA10 1969), cert. denied, 396 U. S. 1009 (1970). See also United States v. Ridling, 350 F. Supp. 90 (ED Mich. 1972). Nor is polygraph evidence inherently inadmissible in the Eighth Circuit. There the trial judge may admit such evidence offered by the defense without an objection by the Government. Compare United States v. Oliver, 525 F. 2d 731 (CA8 1975), with United States v. Alexander, 526 F. 2d 161, 170 n. 18 (CA8 1975).

This Court should grant certiorari in such cases as this, where a defendant’s rights would be notably different depending upon the Circuit in which he is tried, and where the record affords a clear opportunity to address the question in conflict. I therefore dissent and would set the case for oral argument.

Mr. Justice Brennan and Mr. Justice Marshall would grant certiorari.

    Ransom v. United States.
   C. A. 5th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice White,

dissenting.

This case raises the question whether 18 U. S. C. § 922 (a) (6), which prohibits the purchaser of a firearm from making a false statement material to the lawfulness of the sale, requires the purchaser to disclose a prior felony conviction obtained in violation of his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Petitioner contends that a conviction obtained without the counsel guaranteed by Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335 (1963), is “void” under Burgett v. Texas, 389 U. S. 109 (1967), and therefore cannot be used to convict a person who has represented that he has no prior felony convictions. Some courts have accepted this theory, United States v. O’Neal, 545 F. 2d 85 (CA9 1976); United States v. Pricepaul, 540 F. 2d 417 (CA9 1976), or have held that a conviction invalid for denial of the right to counsel is not material to enforcement of the federal firearms statutes, United States v. Megura, 394 F. Supp. 246 (Conn. 1975); see United States v. Cody, 529 F. 2d 564, 567 n. 4 (CA8 1976) (dictum). Other courts, including the Fifth Circuit panel below, have held that even where a prior conviction is invalid for failure to furnish counsel, a purchaser of firearms who falsely represents that he has no prior convictions may be punished under § 922 (a) (6). United States v. Allen, 556 F. 2d 720 (CA4 1977); United States v. Graves, 554 F. 2d 65 (CA3 1977); United States v. Ransom, 545 F. 2d 481 (CA5 1977); United States v. Cassity, 521 F. 2d 1320 (CA6 1975).

While I recognize that this Court cannot decide every question of federal law presented to it, there is an urgent need to resolve conflicts such as this one. American citizens have a right to know the precise requirements of the criminal code with which they are expected to comply. The national criminal code should not be differently interpreted in different courts; some individuals should not be punished for cdnduct for which others would go free. Because the task of resolving such conflicts in interpreting the federal law is not here being fulfilled, I dissent from the denial of certiorari in this case.

    Scott v. Williams et al.; and Lay v. Williams et al.
   Ct. Crim. App. Okla. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice White,

with whom Mr. Justice Brennan joins,

dissenting.

These two cases raise once again the question of whether parole release determinations implicate an interest in liberty entitled to protection under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Petitioners in both cases contend that the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board acted unconstitutionally in denying them parole without affording them an opportunity to appear personally before the Board and providing them with reasons for its decision. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals denied relief. The issue is clearly an important one which significantly affects a great number of persons. Indeed, we have previously granted certiorari to decide whether due process requires that parole release hearings be accompanied by procedural safeguards. See Scott v. Kentucky Parole Board, 423 U. S. 1031 (1975); 429 U. S. 60 (1976) (vacating and remanding case below for consideration of mootness). The question has been extensively litigated in federal and state appellate courts with varying and conflicting results. The confusing state of the law is evident from the cases cited in Scott v. Kentucky Parole Board, 429 U. S., at 61 n. 1 (Stevens, J., dissenting). Under these circumstances, the Court’s refusal to grant certiorari in these two cases is inexplicable if judged by normal standards governing the exercise of our certiorari jurisdiction. I would set the cases for oral argument.

    Schuster v. New York.
   C. A. 2d Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Marshall would grant certiorari.

Mr. Justice Brennan,

dissenting.

This suit is brought by a New York citizen against New York officials. In that circumstance it is my view that New York may not invoke the Eleventh Amendment, since that Amendment in terms bars only federal court suits against States by citizens of other States. Edelman v. Jordan, 415 U. S. 651, 687 (1974) (Brennan, J., dissenting). I would grant the petition and reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
