EX PARTE STATE, EX REL. ATTORNEY GENERAL

Supreme Court of Alabama.
Feb 5, 1982

FAULKNER, Justice.

Writ quashed as being improvidently granted.

JONES, SHORES, EMBRY, BEATTY and ADAMS, JJ., concur.

TORBERT, C.J., and MADDOX and ALMON, JJ., dissent.

MADDOX, Justice (dissenting).

I respectfully dissent. In my opinion, Burgett v. Texas, 389 U.S. 109, 88 S.Ct. 258, 19 L.Ed.2d 319 and Baldasar v. Illinois, 446 U.S. 222, 100 S.Ct. 1585, 64 L.Ed.2d 169, are inapplicable to a revocation of probation proceeding because an uncounseled conviction is not invalid for all purposes. Cf. Lewis v. United States, 445 U.S. 55, 100 S.Ct. 915, 63 L.Ed.2d 198 (1980).

TORBERT, C.J., and ALMON, J., concur.
