Description
Williams was convicted in the state court of Alabama of assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. As an indigent he
had asked for and been denied a free copy of the transcript of testimony at his preliminary hearing. On certiorari to the
Supreme Court of Alabama the relief he sought was denied. Williams' appeal on the merits from his conviction is presently
pending and undecided in the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. Williams sought habeas relief in the district court asserting that his equal protection and due process rights had been denied.
The district court held that habeas relief is not available to a state prisoner until his conviction has become final. We
affirm.
