Description
This is a post conviction action under the provisions of section 29-3001 et seq., R. R. S. 1943. It follows the conviction of Davis in two criminal prosecutions consolidated for trial in which he was found guilty of (1) possession of heroin with intent to deliver, (2) illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, (3) being an habitual criminal, and (4) possession of a controlled substance. On earlier direct appeal to this court the conviction on charges (1), (2), and (4) above were affirmed, the conviction on charge (3) was vacated, and the cause was remanded for resentencing. State v. Davis, 199 Neb. 165, 256 N.W.2d 678. In this action, Davis pleads four grounds which he claims make the convictions unconstitutionally infirm and therefore void. These are: (1) He was denied discovery of handwriting exemplars which he claims would have demonstrated that search warrants used in the search of his residence were forged. (2) He was deprived of effective assistance of counsel because the court refused a continuance which he had requested in order that he might take the deposition of one Washington, an alleged informant on whose information the warrant was based and who, at the time of request for continuance, was incarcerated in a San Francisco jail. (3) He was denied compulsory process for witnesses on his own behalf. This claim relates to compelling the appearance of the informant Washington. (4) He was denied a full and fair hearing on the validity of the search warrants.
