Description

In this appeal from denial of his habeas corpus petition, petitioner-appellant Newcomb contends that his state court conviction as an habitual criminal and the 20-year sentence which he received should be set aside because there was inadequate proof that he was the same Michael Newcomb who had been previously convicted of armed robbery the offense which the state relied upon as predicate for the habitual criminal conviction. Appellant also contends that his 20-year sentence violates the Eighth Amendment and the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
