497 P.2d 17 | Utah | 1972

CALLISTER, Chief Justice:

Plaintiff appeals from an order of the district court denying her petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Plaintiff was convicted of second-degree murder and appealed to this court, wherein she raised the identical issue that she currently asserts in her petition.1 She may not under the guise of this petition have a second opportunity to litigate the issue.2 The order of the trial court is affirmed.

TUCKETT, HENRIOD, ELLETT and CROCKETT, JJ., concur.
