Greer v. Beto

Per Curiam. The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted. The judgment is reversed. Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335; Doughty v. Maxwell, 376 U. S. 202; see Garner v. Pennsylvania, 372 U. S. 768; United States ex rel. Durocher v. LaVallee, 330 F. 2d 303 (C. A. 2d Cir.). Mr. Justice Harlan would set the case for argument, believing that the retroactivity of Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335, as applied in a recidivist case, presents problems of its own that are deserving of plenary consideration.
