Cowans v. Warden of Maryland Penitentiary

244 Md. 709 (1966) · Court of Appeals of Maryland
Court of Appeals of MarylandDisposition: Denied✓ Good law
HoldingRonald Vernon Cowans applied for leave to appeal from an order of the lower court (Judge Harlan) denying him post conviction relief from his imprisonment for robbery.

Per Curiam. The application of Ronald Vernon Cowans for leave to appeal from the order denying him post conviction relief from his imprisonment for robbery is hereby denied for the reasons stated in the opinion filed by Judge Harlan in the lower court. With regard to the contention (raised for the first time in this application for leave to appeal) that the applicant is entitled to a new trial under the decision in Schowgurow v. State, 240 Md. 121 , we need only point out that his conviction became final upon the filing of the opinion on direct appeal in Cowans and Hayes v. State, 238 Md. 433 , on April 29, 1965. See Waller v. Director, 244 Md. 229 .

Application denied.
